7 Storytime Strategies for Learning Literacy

Most parents know that reading to your child for fifteen minutes every day is one of the
most important activities you can do with your pre-schooler to help her succeed in
school. But what you may not know are some of the secrets teachers use during
storytime to teach important early literacy skills to their kids

Left to Right This may sound simple, but running your fingers under the words as
you read has many valuable lessons for young readers. The left to right and top
to bottom orientation in the English language is not natural to young children.

Working With Words If your child is inquisitive, she may naturally ask the
meaning of words she doesn't recognize. Reading is a wonderful opportunity to
expand your childs vocabulary as most picture books contain some words that
your child may not know
Point Out Punctuation Although it's not necessary for her to know what an
explanation point, question mark or period is before she starts to read, being
familiar with these common punctuation marks will help her feel more
comfortable in the world of print.
Letter Hunt For a fun alternative to just reading a book, give your child a specific
letter to hunt for on each page. Give her a magnifying glass and tell her she's a
letter detective! Begin with the letters in her name to pique her interest in the
activity
Sight Word Search If your child's a little older, you can begin to help her
recognize some simple sight words found in most books. The ten most common
used words in the English language (ranked by frequency) are: the, of, and, a, to,
in, is, you, that, it. Give your little one a head start at reading by helping her
recognize these words in print. Write one word on several mini self stick notes
and have her stick one on each page where she finds the word
Make a Prediction Before you read a new book together, look at the cover and
ask your child what she thinks the story will be about. What gives her that idea?
Read the title and ask her if she still thinks her prediction is correct or if she
wants to change it
Check for Comprehension After you have read a story for the first time, ask a
few questions to see how much she remembers and understood. If you ask a
question she can't answer, help her find the answer in the book, and then reread
the page the answer is found on. Good reading comprehension skills will serve
her well as she begins to read.

Scribble as brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation
experience.

My insights from my observation, as teachers we should be able to get the

attention of our pupils, there are various ways in getting their attention like for
example; you enhance your instructional materials not just purely writing on the
board, you can present a picture, or you conduct an active activity, so the pupil
will not feel the boredom and to stop them roaming around.
It is also important that you have a clear and audible voice so the pupils
will listen attentively. Other ways to motivate student is by asking question that
is already familiar to them, with that they can participate and be able to tied-up
to the new lesson.

Peace Concept on Focus:

CRITICAL FRIENDS
The observations made on the principles of
teaching and learning are shared with a
fellow FS student to share insights and
draw common conclusion as to
applicability and effectiveness according to
given context and type of learners. This
sharing is meant to critique the
observations in a friendly mode.

Your Target
At the end of this activity, the students will be able to identify and
describe the teachers activity and the behavior of the learners in these
activities.

Your Map

After the principles of teaching and learning in the classroom setting, you
will now start to journey through the methods, strategies, and approaches of
teaching and learning by first observing actual classroom teaching.
To hit your target, work your way through these steps:
Step 4: Reflect on your experience.
Step 3: Confer with the teacher regarding observable and significant
events.
Step 2: Record and highlight observable and significant events in such
teaching-learning activities and events.
Step 1: Make a journal about the tasks performed by the teachers as they teach
their lesson noting patterns and variety.

MY JOURNAL
Name of the School Observed: Andres Soriano College
School Address: Mangagoy, Bislig City
Grade/ Year level: Grade IV
Description of Teaching Strategies:
The teaching strategies used by the teacher by the time that I observed were the
cooperative learning. The pupil has given the chance their knowledge and ideas and
the other may learn something from ones experience. It also helps the teacher to
determine on where to start her lesson based on the prior knowledge of the child.

Description of learning activities:

The learning activities I observed were group activities. Since they are only few, they
were divided into 2 groups and they will act as if they were buying something using
the play money produced by the teacher.
Description of learners participation (proportion of learners who participated and
quality of participation)
So far, the teacher managed her students to participate in learning activities.
Maybe she already have the prior knowledge about the value of money that is why
the pupils are not having a hard time in doing such activities. At the same time, the
teacher seems very strict for those student who will not participate.

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation
experience.

I learned that to become an effective teacher, it is

not enough that you master only your lesson; you have
to be equipped with strategies and techniques on how
you will present your lesson to make it rich,
meaningful and permanent. Motivation is very
essential in learning activities. You have to make sure
that almost 100% of the pupils will participate and
attentive in any discussion and whatever activities
you will have.
As teacher you will also have to show to your
pupils that you are also interested in your subject
matter. Because once you are dull they will get bored.
Theres one big thing that I would like to comment
about the teachers behavior. I know that it is part of
the teacher to correct student but not to the extent to
use the words Mura kag abnormal bulok man diay
ka; youre intention is not to motivate pupil rather
youre insulting them.

Peace Concept on Focus:

Collaboration/Participation/Cooperation
Students should be able to provide
opportunities to the learners to participate
and collaborate with others in classroom
activities through strategies that allow
more learners engagement and
cooperation.
