Reading video series

I found the videos to be very interesting. There was a direct buildup through each video clip. It began with an introduction to the importance of beginning early and infusing your children with a love for reading and interest in reading and writing. Then there was proof that even little babies can tell the difference between sounds as they change through speech. Many of the following videos went through the steps young students go through when learning the ABCs, spelling, how to read, and how to write. All of these steps are according to grad level and can be enriched as students advance throughout the grades. I liked many of the strategies that were used such as using the word "large" and the words that are associated with size. The students had to put the words in order of size which was a great exercise on vocabulary and word usage. At the end there was a short clip on assessment which is an important factor.  Students need to perfect their learning and make sure that they are clear on whatever they learned as they were progressing. If a child is not achieving we are being unfair by allowing them to continue for they may feel dumb or neglected without the help they truly need.

  1. Interesting point about the build up I did not notice that. Very smart way for them to present it.

  2. Good point Adina. We have to make sure our students are progressing, it would be unfair otherwise. No teacher wants to make her student feel dumb and neglected!
