In my first visit to Cunningham, one thing I learned about my student that I thought was important to consider when writing my lesson plans is she has a good grasp of letter recognition and letter sounds. This is important because it shows me that she has a good foundation for literacy learning. When writing my lesson plans, since I am only working with one child, I want to try my best to personalize the lessons towards my specific child to make learning more enjoyable for my student. Since including books in our lesson plans are a super important aspect I want to choose books that excite my child. I will get the books I need to use for my lessons either from my personal library or the UNI library. When I am thinking about the book to use I most importantly consider what I am trying to teach the child or what that specific lesson plan is directed toward. I want the books I use to enhance the learning process. Of course I also take into consideration the child's interest but it is most important to me as a teacher that the book is purposeful when considering the specific lesson or activity.
If I discover that my student is struggling with a certain task I want to find a way to strengthen my student in the areas that they are weak. In order to do this, I will make sure I involve what the student is weak in in every lesson plan I do with the student. At the end of my literacy field experience teaching my goal is that the student I worked with has stronger literacy skills, especially in the areas she was weak. And of course have fun reading and learning! 😊
