Description
As an elementary teacher, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the role vocabulary and fluency play in the act of reading. Students who have a large vocabulary base and can read text fluently are better able to comprehend what they are reading. Students who have poor fluency skills and a limited vocabulary are more likely to struggle with comprehension.
Equipping families and caregivers to support their child’s literacy development at home is another important job of an elementary teacher. The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop your toolbox of literacy strategies for vocabulary and fluency and to explore ways to increase family and caregiver involvement in early literacy development.
