DEVELOPING LITERACY

Section 1:
1.1 Focus Point needed for Riley:
From the comprehension reading of Riley it has been understood that Riley needed
some reading development. For Riley improvements needed in the rereading of the texts. For
Riley the chosen teaching strategy is the shared writing.
Focus point of Riley: For Riley the chosen focus point is the rereading of the texts because
Riley was having problems with the understanding whatever he was reading. The strategy of
rereading will help Riley to develop the deeper understanding of the main content (Moss et
al., 2013). Also this strategy will help Riley to provide more attention to the readings, thus it
will make more sense. Also the accuracy will be increased more by the rereading as parsing
the texts becomes easier.
Shared Writing: For Riley the chosen strategy is the shared writing. Shared writing strategy
is chosen for riley because Riley was having problem in understanding the written texts. For
that he was required rereading of the text. The best way of clarifying the nay type of texts is
writing them. By writing those passage riley will have better understanding of the main
context of the passage. Actually the shared writing is a collaborative technique that helps the
children to develop their writings (Dorfman & Cappelli, 2017). In such technique teachers
help them by elaborating how to write a particular type of text. Teacher also write with them
for better understanding of the students.
1.2 Focus Point for Mia:
Mia also need some development in reading like Riley. For Mia improvements
needed in the Fluency development and for this the chosen teaching strategy is the language
experience approach.
