Today at state training we learned about how to increase proficiency in children. That is how to help children use language outside of classroom setting. Such as ordering food or ask for directions to a friend's house. Acheivement is like a one answer test.
They describe learning language is like a sport. You have to keep at it to be good.
Make plenty of oppurtunities for children to create own language. Have a sentence frame ready and they talk to each other using the sentence frame.
Review what was learned- flashcard line game, two lines read previous vocab and the end of line, create a sentence while waiting to go to next class. Use a puzzle to cover up a character and have them guess what it is. Guess what is wrong with my character. I write you guess.
Have high expectations for the kids and they will meet that goal. Be consistent with your own modeling of language. Do you expect full sentences?
To do:
When reading with kids-
First talk about the cover of the book. Give them a purpose for reading by saying I want you to look for if the cat will chase the mouse. Then shared reading by making connections, and having them read with you. summarize story.
