Constructivist Theory - Answers A philosophy based on the premise that people construct kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




their own understanding of the world they live in through reflection on experiences.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Constructivist Theory in Practice - Answers For example: Groups of students in a science
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




class are discussing a problem in physics. Though the teacher knows the "answer" to the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




problem, she focuses on helping students restate their questions in useful ways. She
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




prompts each student to reflect on and examine his or her current knowledge. When one of
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




the students comes up with the relevant concept, the teacher seizes upon it, and indicates
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




to the group that this might be a fruitful avenue for them to explore. They design and
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




perform relevant experiments. Afterward, the students and teacher talk about what they
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




have learned, and how their observations and experiments helped (or did not help) them to
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




better understand the concept.
kj kj kj kj




Cognitive-constructivist view of reading - Answers Aim to assist students in assimilating
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




new information to existing knowledge, as well as enabling them to make the appropriate
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




accommodations to their existing intellectual framework to accommodate that information.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Ex. Because of Winn-Dixie; from her inference, and active knowledge of the text says that
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




people who have things in common often become friends.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Socio-cultural theory/Ex. - Answers Extends the influence on the cognitive-constructivist
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




view out from the reader and the text into the larger social realm. Learning is viewed as
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




social rather than individual. -Lev Vygotsky Ex. Understanding the zone of proximal
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




development can be helpful for teachers.
kj kj kj kj kj kj




In classroom settings, teachers may first assess students to determine their current skill
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




level. Educators can then offer instruction that stretches the limits of each child's
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




capabilities.
kj kj




At first, the student may need assistance from an adult or a more knowledgeable peer, but
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




eventually, their zone of proximal development will expand. Teachers can help promote
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




this expansion by:
kj kj kj




Planning and organizing their instruction and lessons: For example, the teacher might
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




organize the class into groups where less skilled children are paired with students who
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




have a higher skill level.
kj kj kj kj kj




Using hints, prompts, and direct instruction to help kids improve their ability levels.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Scaffolding, where the teacher provides specific prompts to move the child progressively
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




forward toward a goal.
kj kj kj kj

, Reader Response Theory - Answers The main argument of reader-response theory is that
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




readers, as much as the text, play an active role in a reading experience (Rosenblatt,
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




1994). This theory rejects the structuralist view that meaning resides solely in the text.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Words in a text evoke images in readers' minds and readers bring their experiences to this
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




encounter.
kj




Experiential Learning - Answers As the name suggests, experiential learning involves
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




learning from experience. The theory was proposed by psychologist David Kolb who was
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




influenced by the work of other theorists including John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, and Jean
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Piaget
kj




Oral Language Development - Answers The complex system that relates sounds to
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




meanings, is made of three components: phonological, (rules for combining sounds)
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




semantic, (the smallest units of meaning that may be combined to make up words) and
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




syntactic (the rules that combine morphemes into sentences). Reading and talking with
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




children plays an important role in developing their vocabulary. The more you talk to
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




children, the larger their vocabulary will develop. Note: Pragmatic is also the rules that
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




allow us to speak appropriately in different settings
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




What are the stages of writing development? - Answers Scribbling/drawing
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Letter like forms and shapes
kj kj kj kj




Letters
Letters and spaces kj kj




Conventional writing and spelling (children in this stage spell most words correctly with a kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




reliance on knowledge of phonics to spell longer words, they can punctuate, can properly
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




use capital and lower case letters. Writing different purposes is important, handwriting and
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




spelling becomes easier.
kj kj kj




What are stages of reading development - Answers Early Emergent
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Emergent (understands alphabet, phonological awareness and knows phonics, have
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




command of high frequency words, developing comprehension and word attack skills,
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




recognize types of texts, non-fiction and fiction, and that reading has a variety of purposes).
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Early Fluent kj




Fluent

What are the stages of the alphabetic phase - Answers The written forms of spoken,
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




alphabetic language languages which use letters (graphemes) in a code to represent the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




sounds of speech (phonemes) specific sequences of letters form words, this is the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




alphabetic principle. If we obeyed this principle we wouldn't have words like to, too, and
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




two.
kj




Gradual release of responsibility - Answers Teaching approach that incorporates
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




scaffolding (building on what the student already knows) so that the responsibility for the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




content is shifted from teacher to student.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj

, Strategies for vocabulary/literacy development - Answers Integration: connecting new
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




vocabulary to prior knowledge
kj kj kj kj




Repetition: encountering/using the word concept many times kj kj kj kj kj kj




Meaningful use: multiple opportunities to use new words in reading, writing, and soon
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




discussion

Reading Workshop (Balanced Literacy Framework) - Answers Shared: (teacher provides
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




explicit comprehensive instruction, everyone in the class reads a projected book, as
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




teacher moves pointer along screen)
kj kj kj kj kj




Guided: (teacher with small groups who read at similar levels, use benchmark books to
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




determine student's level of reading, includes of a variety of genres including fiction and
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




non-fiction)
kj




Independent: (Students read from class library or leveled books, these are of personal kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




interest and include a wide variety, with Raz-Plus, you can read ebooks.)
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Writing Workshops (Balanced Literacy Framework) - Answers Shared/Interactive:
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




(teacher and children compose message/story using a shared pen)
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Guided: (teacher directed lesson and then student writes as teacher confers with the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




student guiding the student's writing development, A-Z members have access to a variety
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




of writing lessons and genres)
kj kj kj kj kj




Independent: (students write their own stories both narrative and informational) kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Word Work (Balanced Literacy Framework) Students working with words so they can
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




become more fluent readers - Answers Phonemic awareness and Phonics: (Helps young
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




students to learn letter sound relationships, words broken into parts based on individual
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




speech sounds known as phonemes, and this phonemic awareness helps students to
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




sound out and spell words. Helps students to notice, differentiate, think about, and
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




manipulate sounds during effective phonological awareness instruction.)
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




High frequency words and vocabulary: (Building on a foundation of word knowledge by
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




emphasizing word structure and vocabulary, extends vocabulary and helps student apply it
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




in the context of reading, students use A-Z high frequency words and vocabulary lesson

High frequency words (Balance Literacy Framework) - Answers Most commonly used
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




words in printed text, over 50% of all text is composed of them.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




Vocabulary (Balanced Literacy Framework) - Answers A large vocabulary opens students
