What is the level of Understanding Here?
“A related observation about the F distribution is that it is positively skewed, not symmetric as are z and t. This is because F is always positive: It is the ratio of variances, both of which are positive, so F itself must be positive. There is no left-hand tail of F because the F distribution ends abruptly at 0.”

The Greater the Comprehensible Input …
… the greater the capacity to comprehend.

So which is more desirable?
The student who reads every word?
Or
The student who understands the meaning?

What is Involved In Comprehension?
What Does it Mean to Understand?
•Making Sense of text based on author’s intention and message.
•Understanding how the words interplay to relay a message.
•To exercise intellectual muscle
•To connect with a text in a meaningful way

The Road On The LeftBy Keith Pruitt
On my Tuesday drive through the country side, I happened on a road I had not previously seen. It was on my left just past Conner’s store. Even though I had been here many times, I had never noticed this road before and it seemed seldom driven as grass was grown waist high on the edges. The treads of tires previously venturing down the lane were the only signs the path had been driven. ∞ I can see that in my mind. I can just see me driving down this dirt road and there is grass in the middle hitting on my car and the dust is flying and the weeds on the side of the road are up to my window. Can you stand in your space and show your conversation partner how high you think the grass would be? Remember, it is up to the window of my car.
Turning down the road the grass between the tire ruts seemed short for a distance but soon became taller hitting the grill on my car. It was obvious I had turned down a road where few had driven in recent days. Over in the field was a house that appeared to be vacant. ∞ If the house is vacant it means that no one is living there. A smile crossed my face as memories from the past came rushing through my mind. ∞ I think that this person has been to this house before. I know this because the author says memories came rushing through my mind. A memory is based on something that has happened before to a person. How would a person smile when they remember something they like. What do you think the author means when he says memories came rushing through my mind? Turn and Talk.
![Page 13: English Language Learners in the Classroom: Strategies That Make A Difference](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102804/5483934db4af9f65628b4574/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
My mother had moved here as a child of five years old from their old house in Chicago. She loved living here in the country. She use to tell me of swinging on an old tire hung by a rope from a tree. Well, I wonder if that is the tree over yonder. “Look the old rope is still there,” I called to the air.
When I was but five years old, I remember coming to visit grandmother. She would be sitting on the porch in her rocker just knitting and singing. “I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away,” I mumbled the words still remembering the old hymn she loved so much. My face lit up with the warmth of these remembrances. Fifty years had gone by, but it was as though it were yesterday. ∞ Have you ever moved far away from your house? What do you think it would look like if you went back?
The house looked to be in fairly good shape. It needed a coat of paint and a few boards had come loose. Otherwise, it had survived the years rather well. Mr. Corbin told me the last people to live at Shiloh Valley were the Hendricks. They had both been dead now only a couple of years. I guess they did right well by the place. It looked better than I had supposed.
I opened the door and grabbed my box of supplies and began up the steps. The movers would be here in a week. There was a lot to be done in such a short time. I had come home.
What do you think the person is going to do with the house?

How Is Schema Created?
What Comes to Your Mind When You Think of…
• Dog
• Bridge
• Statue
• Man
• How about when I spell this word?

• Learn new vocabulary by creating schema that connects with what is already known. (Beck, McKeown, Kucan and Marzano)
What words come to your mind as you look at this picture? Turn and Talk

How About Now?
What Schema Do You Have For This Picture?
Can you transfer your learning?
Can you adopt new schemes for this if I give you information?

Beck, McKeown, Kucan
• Vocabulary must first be orally introduced.• Vocabulary is not grade specific.• Words must be explained, not defined.• Must be contextualized.• Multiple usages in a meaningful context (8-10).• Create Schema (visual representation)• Students reflect with each other• Three Tiers of Vocabulary

Working With Vocabulary
• Explain• Restate
• Show
• Discuss
• Refine and Reflect
• Apply and Learning Games

Comforting- Something or someone that is comforting makes you feel good when you are sad or hurt.
Beck & McKeown, Elements of Reading Vocabulary, Steck Vaughn, 2004
Further explain by putting the word in a context.
A warm cup of tea is comforting when my throat hurts.My dog feels comforting when I am hurt.

Using Vocabulary Journals
• Have students create journals
• Words
• Schema
• Explanations
• Reflections
• Consultations
![Page 31: English Language Learners in the Classroom: Strategies That Make A Difference](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102804/5483934db4af9f65628b4574/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

By creating the visual representation, they are
making the learning concrete by making permanent
memory files.
Why is this important?

Hooking The Learning
• Have you ever met someone and then five minutes later…you couldn’t remember their name?
• Have you ever met someone for the first time that you had talked with on the phone for a long time only to think,… they don’t look like what I thought?
• Do you think in images?• Think about your husband or wife.• Do you just dream in words, or do you create
images?

Open For Discussion
What are the possible advantages of students discussing with each other their concepts of
a word (context, visual representation, etc.)?
• Ability to transfer from L1 to L2 using peer tutoring.
• Sharing personal understanding broadens each understanding.
• Creates multiple contexts for usage.

Reflection allows a refinement of understanding. It permits the memory file to be adjusted to incorporate new understandings.

Exploding The Vocabulary
•Through direct instruction, 5-8 words/week•Adds approximately 160 words to reading/writing vocabularies.•If we take the connective words for those five… look what happens.

Using Word Tree• Those five words have become @50 words.• Now in 32 weeks we have instructed 1600
words.• Students may gain another 320-600 words via
reading.• Now we have exploded the vocabulary by a
maximum of 2200 words in 32 weeks.• In the traditional program 640 words are
instructed, but only 64-120 of them are learned. And emphasis is on spelling.

Morris’ research on phonics/ pa shows:
1. Phonics lessons should be no more than 10-15 min
2. Majority of lesson should be tactile experience
3. Children learn more when manipulating phonemes than by just hearing sounds
4. Phonics instruction should be completed by end of second grade.

Cummins’ Interdependence Theory
To the extent that instruction in Lx is effective in promoting proficiency in Lx, transfer of this proficiency to Ly will occur provided there is adequate exposure to Ly (either in school or environment) and adequate motivation to learn Ly.
--J. Cummins, 1981. “The Role of Primary Language Development in Promoting Educational Success for Language Minority Students.” In Schooling and Language Minority Students: A Theoretical
Framework. P. 29

What Do ELL Students Need?
The keys to effective reading instruction for ELLs include activating or building background knowledge, helping students use psychological strategies and linguistic cueing systems to construct meaning from English texts, choosing appropriate materials, and organizing curriculum around themes.
--David and Yvonne Freeman

Creating New Schema
• Using Spanish CognatesHundreds of words in Spanish and English
have common roots in Latin. Many of the these words are the same except for one letter. These serve as good basis of conversation.

The Teacher
I taught a child to read today,Aren’t I a lucky soul;
And now a world has opened up,The child can now be whole.
He’ll run and play as others do,But more will be his call;
By opening up a book at play,He’ll stand so sure and tall.
A preacher, teacher, scientist perhaps,Someday his task will be;
But it all began one simple day,
When I taught Joe how to read.Keith Pruitt ©2009
