Module 4: Activity 1


I noticed Robin using the “sounding out” technique several times throughout the video segment. I noticed the video started out with him working with rimes and word families. This built his knowledge of how to sound out “chunks” of words to then form words. I think it is interesting that he used the same techniques many children in lower elementary school use. It proves that it is a sound way to learn how to develop a foundation for reading. Although what I noticed most was sounding out, I also noticed him rereading the text a few times. If he read something and it didn’t settle with him, or make sense, he would back up and start rereading over again.  This is a strategy used often in elementary school, even as adults we may use this strategy if needed to clarify a passage.
