The student in the video was struggling decoding sight words. Sight words are words students should recognize immediately upon reading. A mini lesson I would used in the classroom is sight word bingo. It is an interactive game and engages students to learn the words.
Sight word bingo can be used on paper or can be found online at :http://www.abcya.com/dolch_sight_word_bingo.htm
How to play the game:
Listen to the word the BINGO bug speaks and click on the corresponding sight word on the screen. Get four words correct vertically, horizontally or diagonally to get BINGO and win!
Additionally, I would work on a paragraph fluency worksheet that list words with and without the "S- ending". The student struggled with pronouncing the s in the words. First, I will model the paragraph. Next I will do a guided reading with the student emphasizing the S-ending. Then, I will have the student read the paragraph out loud independently. Lastly, I will track the errors the students make while reading the paragraph out loud the second time.
Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteThe student that I conducted the Running Record with this week also had difficulties with fluency. Like you, I think that fluency can be improved by modeling reading for students and having them practice through independent reading.
Love the sight word bingo game! I think it is a great motivational tool for students. Any opportunity for students to learn while playing is a valuable learning experience.
