7 Storytime Strategies for Learning Literacy

Most parents know that reading to your child for fifteen minutes every day is one of the most important activities you can do with your pre-schooler to help her succeed in school. But what you may not know are some of the secrets teachers use during storytime to teach important early literacy skills to their kids

Left to Right This may sound simple, but running your fingers under the words as you read has many valuable lessons for young readers. The left to right and top to bottom orientation in the English language is not natural to young children.

Working With Words If your child is inquisitive, she may naturally ask the meaning of words she doesn't recognize. Reading is a wonderful opportunity to expand your child’s vocabulary as most picture books contain some words that your child may not know

Point Out Punctuation Although it's not necessary for her to know what an explanation point, question mark or period is before she starts to read, being familiar with these common punctuation marks will help her feel more comfortable in the world of print.

Letter Hunt For a fun alternative to just reading a book, give your child a specific letter to hunt for on each page. Give her a magnifying glass and tell her she's a letter detective! Begin with the letters in her name to pique her interest in the activity

Sight Word Search If your child's a little older, you can begin to help her recognize some simple sight words found in most books. The ten most common used words in the English language (ranked by frequency) are: the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it. Give your little one a head start at reading by helping her recognize these words in print. Write one word on several mini self stick notes and have her stick one on each page where she finds the word

Make a Prediction Before you read a new book together, look at the cover and ask your child what she thinks the story will be about. What gives her that idea? Read the title and ask her if she still thinks her prediction is correct or if she wants to change it

Check for Comprehension After you have read a story for the first time, ask a few questions to see how much she remembers and understood. If you ask a question she can't answer, help her find the answer in the book, and then reread the page the answer is found on. Good reading comprehension skills will serve her well as she begins to read.

Scribble as brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience.

My insights from my observation, as teachers we should be able to get the attention of our pupils, there are various ways in getting their attention like for example; you enhance your instructional materials not just purely writing on the board, you can present a picture, or you conduct an active activity, so the pupil will not feel the boredom and to stop them roaming around.

It is also important that you have a clear and audible voice so the pupils will listen attentively. Other ways to motivate student is by asking question that is already familiar to them, with that they can participate and be able to tied-up to the new lesson.

Peace Concept on Focus:

CRITICAL FRIENDS

draw common conclusion as to applicability and effectiveness according to given

context and type of learners. This sharing is meant to critique the observations in a

MY JOURNAL

Name of the School Observed: Andres Soriano CollegeSchool Address: Mangagoy, Bislig CityGrade/ Year level: Grade IV

Description of Teaching Strategies:

The teaching strategies used by the teacher by the time that I observed were the cooperative learning. The pupil has given the chance their knowledge and ideas and the other may learn something from one’s experience. It also helps the teacher to determine on where to start her lesson based on the prior knowledge of the child.

Description of learning activities:

The learning activities I observed were group activities. Since they are only few, they were divided into 2 groups and they will act as if they were buying something using the play money produced by the teacher.

Description of learner’s participation (proportion of learners who participated and quality of participation)

So far, the teacher managed her students to participate in learning activities. Maybe she already have the prior knowledge about the value of money that is why the pupils are not having a hard time in doing such activities. At the same time, the teacher seems very strict for those student who will not participate.

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience.

I learned that to become an effective teacher, it is not enough that you master only your lesson; you have to be equipped with strategies and techniques on how you will present your lesson to make it rich, meaningful and permanent. Motivation is very essential in learning activities. You have to make sure that almost 100% of the pupils will participate and attentive in any discussion and whatever activities you will have.

As teacher you will also have to show to your pupils that you are also interested in your subject matter. Because once you are dull they will get bored.

There’s one big thing that I would like to comment about the teacher’s behavior. I know that it is part of the teacher to correct student but not to the extent to use the words “ Mura kag abnormal” “ bulok man diay ka”; you’re intention is not to motivate pupil rather you’re insulting them.

Peace Concept on Focus:

Collaboration/Participation/Cooperation

Students should be able to provide opportunities to the learners to participate and collaborate with others in classroom

activities through strategies that allow more learner’s engagement and

cooperation.

Reasons for your suggested activity,

materials or assessment

1.Reading a selection, discussion and oral recitation

Pupils are reading the selection and able to respond during the discussion by giving the correct answer to the teacher.

Behaviorism, this theory assumes that learning is a process of building conditional reflexes through the substitution of one stimulus to another

Giving attention to those pupils who are not participating in reading the selection and oral recitation.

Focus to the pupil who have poor reading skills and must know the needs and interests.

2.Presenting of pictures to the class demonstration showing the printing press that were used before and up to present.

Everybody was amazed by the invention of printing press that was used before.

Connectionist’s theory, learning the product of the connection between the stimulus and response.

Each pupil should be given a chance to see a real printer or printing press that is used nowadays.

It will be more enjoyable and unforgettable for the pupils if they were also able to experience to see a real printing press or a printer.

3.Giving group activities

Pupils actively participated and each one shared their ideas.

Progressivism, learning as an active and dynamic process in which the learner is definitely involved. Learning is a process that is active, purposeful and creative.
