Reflections on Observation Task 3: Teaching Shared/Guided Reading
1. Which concepts about print (CAP) did the teacher focus on?
The teacher focused on what a letter is concept and what a word is concept.
a) What strategies/activities did the teacher use to help the students understand the
CAP concept being taught?
Teacher used point out the concept of book strategy by reading the cover page and the
author's name also she pointed out print concepts in the book while she was reading the
story.
2. Were there any initial/medial/final sounds, punctuation, sight words or word
families that were covered during the lesson? If they were, select (a); if they were
not, select (b).
a. What was the purpose of teaching these concepts? Explain its importance.
c) Provide one (1) activity example of how initial/medial/final sounds, punctuation,
sight words or word families could have been could have been covered during the
lesson.
The purpose is to teach the students reading and writing. When teacher focused on the
letters this helped students to be able to find new words that starts with the letters the
teacher asked them about. This way helped students to develop their reading and writing
skills. Furthermore when the teacher focused on the word concept this helped students
to develop their language and gain new vocabularies which will help them to develop
their reading and they will be able to recognize the word when they see it in another
book.
