Part 1 Review this week’s resources on dyslexia including the PDF, “What is Structured Literacy? By Carolyn Cowen. This resource demonstrates how the elements of a structured literacy approach work together using phonology, sound symbol association, syllables, morphology, syntax, and semantics. There is also pertinent information regarding how structured literacy elements are taught using systematic & cumulative, explicit, and diagnostic principles. TO COMPLETE: Prepare a lesson for the struggling reader you have been working with or a student with characteristics of dyslexia using evidence-based practices found in the learning resources. The lesson should include at least 2 evidence-based instructional strategies based on a structured literacy approach. Implement the lesson within your field experience classroom early in the week. After reviewing this information and teaching your lesson, write a 2–3-page paper that addresses the following: Explain the nature and symptoms of dyslexia. How can dyslexia impact instruction in reading and writing for students? Identify 2-3 resources for students who show characteristics of dyslexia and explain why these resources are relevant. How can you ensure your resources are scientifically accurate and are valid sources of research-based information. Discuss the 2 evidence-based instructional strategies based on the structure literacy approach that you implemented in your lesson. What went well and what would you change? Provide examples of how the elements and principles of a structured literacy approach impact student learning. Explain the positive outcomes of intervention and what occurs when there is a lack of intervention. ——————————————————- Part 2 Review the reading inventory, the phonics inventory, the writing sample, the observational notes, the reading attitude inventory, and any other information you have related to your focus child. TO COMPLETE: Using the Focus Child Lesson Plan Template document, design a brief lesson for your focus child that will allow them to improve in any area of weakness. Concentrate on the following aspects as you develop the plan: Emphasize support strategies in the area of listening, speaking, reading, and writing vocabularies. Consider whether this lesson would be most effective in a whole-group setting, a small group, or as independent work. Collaborate with your host teacher when designing this lesson. Concentrate on one component of literacy (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, or comprehension) in which the child demonstrated deficits. Implement your focus child lesson plan. Note your observations of the activity and assessment, as well as your feedback to the child.
