Week 7: Assignment 5 --Child's assessment & Learning activites
Assignment #5
For this assignment I assessed a second grade student, who I believe is a struggling student. We will call her Sarita, and she comes from a home where Spanish is the main language spoken.
Print Awareness
I gave Sarita a book and asked her to point out the following things:
The front of the book --YES
The back of the book --YES
The book title --YES
The Author --YES
The Illustrator --NO
The first word of a sentence --YES
The last word in a sentence --YES
Sarita did well the only one thing she could not identify was the illustrator. I pointed to the illustrator (right next to the author, in bold letters in the cover) for her.
The Sound of Speech
I used the Activity #4 listed under In Practice section of the Sound of Speech unit. I gave Sarita a list of words and asked her to change the first letter of each word to a sound I picked. Sarita was instructed to write the words down and vocalize them for me out loud. Sarita did well on this part of the assessment and to my opinion, she did not fail any of the prompts that I asked from her. Sarita demonstrated a good understanding of sounds of speech based on this part of the assessment.
Phonemic Awareness
For phonemic awareness I used the "Take a Sound Away" activity to check on Sarita's ability to recognize the missing phonemes on words I used. I used words from the book that we had on the table, and which is a common 2nd grade reading. Of 10 words used, Sarita was able to recognize 7 of the missing sounds that I used for the assessment. I realized that she needed bit of practice in this field.
Phonics
For Phonics, I created a quick and simple assessment based on words from the same book. I showed Sarita an image, with the expectation that she would look at a choice of 5 words, and choose which one would begin with the same sound as the word form the image. I showed her 10 images overall, and she failed to identify 3 of the words form the images. I realized that Sarita needs to work on her phonics skills based on this activity.
Learning Activities:
Sarita did relatively well on the first two activities that I administered. However, when it came to the Phonemic Awareness, She struggled to identify some sounds. My recommendation for S would be for him to practice his phonemic awareness skills by reading. The more he read the better his phonemic awareness will become.
Three Websites:
1) PBS Kids- the link has available games that focus on phonemic awareness. This is the second site I would recommend for Sarita to use to practice her
2) Magic Phonic wizard - Great activities to practice sounds with words. Sarita would benefit from this type of practice, as she seems to need a bit of help with this particular skill.
3) Scholastic: Help Nina -this website is very neat and helping with grouping words into categories. I Found that Sarita was weak on this side, and definitely needs some practice in the area of organizing words and finding patterns.
