The teacher may ask students questions while listening to them read as long as they are kept to a minimum. To emphasize the “bl” blend, “th” digraph, and their sound, each student will press their tongue on the roof of the mouth and hold the “bl” blend words for two seconds before moving on. The student will do the same thing for the “th” blend words except they will stick their tongue out, pinched between their teeth. The teacher will listen to each student individually for both the “bl” blend and “th” digraph. The teacher will make notes of each student’s sound correspondence to both the “bl” blend and “th” digraph.…
Two examples of other informal reading assessments are the Phonics Mastery Survey and Phonemic Awareness Assessments. The Phonics Mastery Survey is an informal tool for assessing various phonics elements. This assessment measures a student’s ability to recognize consonant sounds, rhyming words, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, words with CVC patterns, consonant blends, variant vowel sounds, and syllables in words (DeVries 2011 p.112). A student’s ability to use knowledge of sound/letter correspondences to decode words, determines his or her ability to read individual words. Knowing the skills that the students possess will assist the teacher in selecting reading tasks that offer the most effective reinforcement of those phonics skills.…

Each morning when the students arrive at the classroom they are instructed to complete their morning work while they are eating their breakfast. During this time, the classroom paraprofessional assists the students and the teacher tries to complete individual reading/spelling assessments. This phonics worksheet was given in late April as a review worksheet.…

The Festival of Dangerous Ideas has long set the standard for sharing challenging ideas. But what exactly does this term mean? To me, ‘sharing challenging ideas’ means communicating thought-provoking concepts that confront the values and morals of society. Academic George Santayana offers us this wisdom, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In the context of the Australian narrative, nothing has been more pertinent than our relationships and recognition of the traditional custodians of this land.…
1) I believe that Crookes made a very strong and correct move in stating that the human population was going to run out of food. Obviously, people back then didn't understand that food is harder to get than they think. I mean the only thing they knew was animal poop and human poop combined with some urine could make food grow better. I think that doesn't mean anything. Here's what I say to them: "…
