Week 3 Assignment 3-Mini Lesson Based on Running Record


Mini Lesson:

What went well and what needs to be improved
In the running record that I watched, the boy read with accuracy and on an independent level. He also comprehended the text well and answered the questions nicely. However, based on the running record assessment, I noticed that he does not read with proper expression and does not pause in the correct places. Therefore, I would like to work on his fluency. This mini lesson is a great way to improve his fluency. By modeling appropriate reading and rereading the same text, he will learn how to read fluently, with proper expression.

Common Core Standards
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.2.4.B
Read grade-level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.

Learning activities and engagement
Students will choose an age appropriate text they would like to listen to on storyline online.com. This will model fluent reading to them and engage them to read fluently.
Then they will practice rereading the same text a few times to develop fluency.
Next, they will record themselves reading the text fluently with proper expression and hand it in to the teacher for assessment.

Assessment
I will listen to the recording of the students reading the text and see if they mastered the skill of reading fluently. Based on the results, I will plan future instruction.
In addition, I will perform another running record with the students to see whether they learned how to read fluently.

Week 2 assignment- Video observation

As I watched the video of the student reading the text, I was able to assess were he is holding and what his strengths and weaknesses are. This student reads in a confident manner. He read the text fluently  and accurately with proper expression, pausing in correct places. However, I noticed that he tended to read automatically without paying attention to the actual words on the paper. A few times he added extra words that made sense in the story, but were not written in the text. For instance, he added "our" and said "sister" instead of brother. Therefore, I would focus on reading every single word in the story and paying attention to reading the words of the text.
