Task 3

The document describes a shared/guided reading lesson on shapes at the seashore. The teacher reminded the children of reading rules, explained the story cover, and asked questions. The children listened, answered questions, and tried to recognize shapes. The teacher used facial expressions while reading, and big flashcards to show shapes and colors. A reflection discusses the importance of teaching concepts of print like holding books correctly, understanding letters/words/sentences, and reading left to right. Hands-on activities and technology can engage students. Knowledge of concepts of print is essential for reading and writing, and predictive of early reading success. Students can struggle if teachers assume they have knowledge they lack.

Reflection

Concepts of print are basic understandings about letters, words, sentences, and books. Knowing
how to hold books correctly and turn pages in the right direction. Understanding the difference
between a letter, word, and sentence Knowing that each word on a page represents a spoken
word. Understanding that text is read from left to right. Children learn by doing, not just by
hearing. I your students engaged in the lesson by having them partake in hands-on activities. Use
cooperative learning techniques, or technology like an iPad or a whiteboard to enhance your
lesson. Keep their minds and hands moving and you’ll see that it will help you reach your
lessons objective. Importance of concepts of print, Knowledge of these concepts are essential to
conventional reading and writing in English. The concepts of word are predictive of how well a student
will be able to read in the early grades. Early elementary instruction often relies on the assumption that
most children understand concepts of print. Students can struggle and fall behind if they do not have
knowledge that the teacher assumes for them to have, especially if that discrepancy goes unnoticed.
