For the reading groups, we had a group of 4-6 students
and to help with their fluency we had them read
altogether a sight word book. It consisted of all threeletter words that the students had been working on. The
book allowed for the students to put these sight words
together to work on their fluency while reading. It was a
short book no more than 10 pages so it didnt take
longer than 3-5 minutes to read.

Today was Dr. Seuss day so I read them the story The
Cat and the Hat. I spoke slowly but fluently while
reading the story to them so that they would follow
along and understand the plot. They also can learn how
reading a book is supposed to sound so that when they
try reading on their own they can model it after how the
teacher reads during read alouds.

After the students sorted the fish they had to graph and
then write the number of fish in each category. This
helped them practice writing numbers and learn what
each number represents.

which was a book with sentences that contained all
three-letter sight words. This helped them work on their

Through various hands on activities, ipad games, and songs she was
able to accomplish this. Even in the short time I have been there I can
see a difference in some of the students literacy levels. A couple of
students have even been able to move up to the next highest group. It
shows that these activities are making a difference and spending time
on each pillar is important in helping the student grow in all aspects of
literacy. Each student is very different and if there is one thing I have
learned from doing this literacy observation is that some of these
activities work really well and some dont. Sometimes an activity will
work well with one group but not another. Sometimes you have to do a
trial and error and if something isnt working you have to be ready to
switch to another activity that will work and tend to that specific childs
needs.
