Reading+Field+Placement

Field Placement:
 * Day/date || Activity || Text/material || Comments ||

 * || Shared reading || poem: ||  ||
 * || Phonics || sight words/phonics assessment || while other students read ||  ||
 * || Independent reading ||  || Interest surveys ||

There will be three assignments associated with the field placement:
 * 1) Case study: Select a student to observe (by the second day), and focus on their development. Collect data, including assessment data, and observation logs. This will become part of the portfolio.
 * 2) Lesson log: includes lesson plans, notes, reflections
 * what went well? what didn't go well? what did you learn? what would you do differently?
 * 1) Final reflections: what do you remember most?

Lesson planning: Preplan with partner to determine who will be doing what. Assessment: ways to know if the students have learned and understood the lesson.

Gradual release:
 * Read Aloud: modeling fluency, CAP, connections, visualizations,
 * Phonics work
 * Instructional reading
 * Shared reading (read aloud can become shared/independent reading): big books, poems
 * first grade students start with Pat-a-cake, familiar poem that they know
 * if a child becomes very frustrated, you should stop.
