S. and Canada with professional workshops and classroom demonstrations.
5 components of balanced literacy instruction
Balanced literacy is a framework for reading instruction. It involves teaching by reading to students, having students read independently, and reading with students. This is accomplished with five basic components.
Balanced Literacy Component #1
– The read aloud
In the
read aloud
strategy the teacher reads out loud to the classroom.
Balanced Literacy Component #2
– Guided reading
Through
guided reading
teachers are able to work with students who are on the same level.
Balanced Literacy Component #3
– Shared reading
During
shared reading
the students and teacher read together. Balanced
Literacy Component #4
– Independent reading
During
independent reading
students are allowed to choose the books they want to read.
Balanced Literacy Component #5
– Word study
Students work with words through fun and engaging activities. Through
word study
students learn letters and the sounds they make. They then move on to root words, suffixes and prefixes, and how to derive meaning of words.
Teachers use a variety of literacy resources for the teaching of this balanced model which include, but are not limited to: leveled text; authentic literature; content-related materials; works of fiction and non-fiction; highly engaging articles; computer-based resources; and more.
