CTRD 3000 Self Study Project

1. How do you "bridge the gap" for an English language learner?

   • understand their background
     • understand how they communicate
   • learn their strengths and weaknesses
   • form a meaningful relationship with child so that affective communication can take place
   • reinforce and build strong knowledge of sight words in child

2. When a child substitutes a word in a text, where does that substitution come from?

   • meaning
   • structure
   • visual
   • child may use a word he has heard before used in a similar context
   • child may use any letter or sound he sees in the word and substitute with a word he knows that has the same letter or sound

3. How do you teach children to monitor their reading?

   • cross-checking
     • self-correct
   • "that sounds right but does it look right?"
     • "what is another word that would also make sense here?"
   • increase phonological awareness
