Self Study Project

1. How can we effectively teach children to monitor?

   • Discussing strategies to monitor with child
     • Child learns that monitoring is always important for effective readers
   • Practice, practice, practice
     • Practice using the language in all forms will help develop literacy skills like monitoring/self correcting
   • Model proper monitoring and self-correction skills
   • Build a relationship with the child to form background knowledge
   • Reinforce the idea that mistakes are a good thing because we can learn from them
     • Learning how to effectively praise each child and how they respond to praise

2. When does the child achieve mastery in monitoring skill?

   • Measured through self correction rate
     • Explain why self correction is important
   • Able to monitor themselves when self-reading

3. How can we effectively communicate the importance of monitoring to ESL students?

   • Use language often: Not just reading, but also speaking, writing, and listening
