Self Study Project

1. Teaching and Learning: When a child looks at the picture, how do I get them to look at the word and not the picture to confirm?

   • using unconditional positive regard
   • Teach them phonological awareness.
   • Teach the children to segment phonemes.
   • Broaden their letter knowledge and phonemes.
   • Tell the child "that sounds right, but let's go back to see if it looks right."

2. Content: Why do children look at the pictures to confirm a word they do not know in the text?

   • They use only meaning.
   • They only use structural information to confirm.
   • They do not have phonological awareness.
   • Instead of appealing, they want to figure it out by themselves so they look to the pictures for help.
   • They do not have fluency.

3. Diversity: How do I teach children with different reading backgrounds to all read with more visual information?

   • Know the backgrounds of each child.
   • Assessments on where each child is.
   • Teach them phonological awareness.
   • Group or partner reading
