5.8 Demonstrate research-based instructional practices to facilitate students’ monitoring and self correcting in reading.

For this concept I used the skills we used from the beginning of the year for teaching students how to self-monitor and self-correct when reading. Not only did we create a poster about questions students should ask themselves while reading, we also include daily reads for homework. In the second picture you can see a short story titled The Pet Cat. Students must do this every night with a parent/guardian. A timer is set for 1 minute and students see how far they can read. Students count the words read per minute as well as the mistake. As you can see, the student did make a mistake during the second reading, but corrected themselves for the third and fourth reading. I think teaching these skills early on from the beginning of the year can really help students become better readers when it comes to self-monitoring and self-correction. We also utilize other skills within the classroom like chunking or sounding out words and using surrounding context clues to infer the meaning of a word we do not know. All of these reading concepts truly go hand in hand to promote and support a positive reading environment for students.
