SCHOLASTIC LITERACY

In addition to identifying the most frequently used components of Scholastic Literacy, teachers were asked to classify specific instructional activities as being either a central part, small part, or not a part of their reading instruction (see Table 8).

Work with small groups of students. Teach whole class reading lessons.
Students apply pre-reading strategies such as previewing the text, accessing prior knowledge, formulating questions, clarifying understanding, setting a purpose, and making predictions. Students apply during-reading strategies, including visualizing, making connections, monitoring understanding, making logical inferences from details, rereading, questioning, and summarizing. Students apply after-reading strategies, including comparing, synthesizing, and drawing conclusions. I teach word-learning strategies, including use of word parts (roots, prefixes, and suffixes), context, and the dictionary. Work one-on-one with students on reading. I teach specific strategies for decoding unfamiliar words. I teach decoding/phonics skills while reading stories. Use tests to determine progress on skills. Students isolate or categorize sounds in words, segment words into sounds, blend sounds to form words, add sounds to words, delete sounds from words, and manipulate onsets and rimes. I provide opportunities to play with sounds through activities involving pictures, letter tiles, rhyming, and music to develop student
