- 1. Creating a Literate Environment Melissa Garrett Walden University
- 2. I. Getting to Know Literacy Learners Part of Instruction and Assessment ● During Instruction ○ Listen to students read orally ○ Ask literal questions before and after reading ○ Journaling/Writing ○ Reader Interest survey
- 3. ● During Assessment: Cognitive: ● oral reading passages ● comprehension questions ● reading inventories Non-Cognitive: ● Whole class activity “Me Stew”(Laureate Education,2010) ● Artistic Representation
- 4. II. Selecting Texts Dr. Hartman’s Literacy Matrix Linguistic No Pictures Semiotic Pictures/Still Images Informational Nonfiction Narrative Tells a Story
- 5. Outcomes of the Literacy Matrix ● Teachers view texts differently ● Aides in selecting grade appropriate texts ● Able to incorporate literacy in all subject areas with ease ● 100% Student Engagement!
- 6. III. Framework for Literacy Developed by Dr. Douglas Hartman(Laureate, Education,2010). What it is: Organizational tool for teachers to use when planning literacy instruction. How it is used: Three “Big Organizing Topics” ● Learners ● Texts ● Instructional Practices Three Perspectives ● Interactive ● Critical ● Response
- 7. IV. Interactive Perspective What is the “Interactive perspective?” Students will be able to read accurately,fluently, and with comprehension (Laureate, Education,2010). How did I get my students to interact with the text? ● Provided activities that would enhance familiarity with the text ● Graphic Organizers; KWL, Venn Diagram (Use before and after reading) ● Leveled Texts:Posters, digital images, picture books, larger print, student appealing texts
- 8. V. Critical Perspective What is the “Critical perspective?” Students will be able to judge, evaluate, and think critically about text. Strategies I used for critical perspective: ● Non-fiction texts with real images of bats ● “Kid friendly” stories with images of bats ● Record student responses using a graphic organizer (e.g. Venn diagram) “How do you feel about bats? why?” By using this question frame,students were able to share with each other using academic language, without losing emotional connections to the topic.
- 9. VI. Response Perspective What is the “Response perspective?” Students will be able to read, react, and respond to text in a variety of meaningful ways. Strategies I used for response perspective: ● Invited students to share background knowledge about bats ● Introduced text about bats with “kid friendly” imagery (e.g. Stellaluna by Janell Cannon). ● Read through story without stopping to achieve authentic reaction ● Students responded through journaling using sentence frames ● Referred back to graphic organizer when sharing journal responses
