K12 Assignment: Phonics and Word Recognition - I Do, We Do, You Do

This assignment delves into the critical aspects of phonics and word recognition, employing the 'I Do, We Do, You Do' instructional model. It begins by defining the chosen phonics/word recognition concept and aligning it with educational standards, emphasizing the importance of reading, communication, and writing habits for students. The assignment then outlines direct instruction (I Do), collaborative activities (We Do), and independent work (You Do) designed to reinforce the concept. It also addresses print language awareness, the alphabetic principle, and strategies for supporting student learning. Furthermore, the assignment includes differentiation strategies and informal assessment methods to monitor student progress. The second part of the assignment reflects on the lesson's impact, reinforcing the significance of vocabulary and its role in academic success. The assignment also cites relevant research to support the approaches taken.

Phonics and Word Recognition: I Do, We Do, You Do
Part 1: Phonics and Word Recognition: I Do, We Do, You Do Chart
Phonics/Word Recognition Concept
Describe your chosen phonics/word recognition concept and aligning standards.
Increase in the habit of reading: The student must be competent enough and should be in the habit of reading. Several books and
articles should be read by the students. Otherwise the student won’t be able to analyze the use of words and the also will not be able
to understand for what reason the words has been used. The change of a word’s meaning and its application can be easily analyzed by
the student if he reads a lot of books.
Increase in habit of Communicating and developing habit of conversing in the concerned language: the Student should practice
conversing in a definite or the concerned language otherwise it will difficult for him to grasp what the teacher is teaching. Developing
healthy speaking habits is always a good practice to keep in touch. By doing that he will be in touch of the words he is learning about.
Writing habit: The student must be writing something daily so that he can understand how the phonics are applied in a word. The
application of what he has learnt will come into use. Thus he can easily differentiate among the words according to their means and
use them according to his will. The concept will be clearer and the matter will be easily perceived by him. The fluency and concept of
the words will be prominent to him.
