Literacy 

 

Standard 3:

Literacy To improve student learning and achievement, teachers at all levels K-12 use knowledge of effective oral and written communications, reading, mathematics, and technology to facilitate and support direct instruction, active inquiry, collaboration, and positive interaction.

Standard 3:

Rationale Research clearly indicates that one of the strongest correlates to effective teaching is a high level of literacy. Not only do effective teachers demonstrate effective use of the spoken and written language, reading, mathematics, and technology, they also model and actively teach their students the age-level fundamentals and advanced skills in reading, writing, and oral communications across all content areas. Additionally, in this culture where technology is ubiquitous, teachers demonstrate mastery of appropriate instructional technology and integrate technology into instruction of their subject areas.

I have realized in taking a class here at Auburn that focuses entirely on helping children learn to read and become good and fluent readers how important literacy is to learning as a whole. Communication is very key in all subjects of learning but can better be harped on when literacy is a focus. Below I have attached a lesson plan that help students grow in the fluency as well as a music lesson I helped create.
