Some reading or children may be to hard or way too complex for them to understand. Most of the time teachers do not recognize this and as a result their students suffer because of it.The article I read Handy Helpers for guided Reading provided five questions that teachers can ask while their students are engaging in reading activities. They consisted of how did the students feel, how did the reading sound, how long was the session, what records did you take and how hard did you work. Theses questions help teachers see when their students are struggling and different signs they can pick up on when a student needs assistance. The second question allows the teachers to see if the reading performed by the student sound accurate or if their needs to be more practice in that area. Each questions gives you guidance of what to focus on when teachers feel as though students need a since of guidance during their reading. In turn teachers can give students a better opportunity to enhance and better their reading.Follow Link to read more: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/TRTR.01020/full
I think it is always great to document students to measure growth or sometimes a lack thereof. From a special education stand point having documentation is crucial for the referrel process if a child is ever thought to be in need of special services. Asking questions and documenting are great habits to start as a teacher.
