 Assignments: I follow the grading rubric closely. Always read the assignment rubric prior to starting your assignments to fully understand the assignment requirements.  Some requirements are outlined in the grading rubric that are not detailed in this course  assignment instructions. It is recommended that you use the writing template posted in the resources section of the course room for assignments and label each section of your paper based on the topic or what the question is asking. This will ensure you cover all requirements of the assignment and assists in the grading process. Be sure to reach out if you have questions.

·      Mechanics: Graduate writing requires critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of theory and concepts.  Be sure to proofread your papers and DQ posts before submitting to ensure maximum points. Examples of errors with mechanics are errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and use of passive voice.

·      References:  You are required to use scholarly references for this course. Scholarly references are articles and resources in the course room, peer reviewed articles in the GCU library and government websites ending in .gov.

Instruction and Rubric for week 3 assignments

Assessment Description

As a teacher, it is important to understand the components of explicit and systematic phonics instruction. Intentional phonics instruction is complementary to phonological awareness and can have positive effects on word recognition, fluency, spelling, and vocabulary achievement. Teachers explicitly teach the relationships between letters/graphemes and the sounds of spoken language. Explicit instruction requires that teachers provide step-by-step directions for the relationships between letters (patterns) and sounds. The goal in phonics instruction should always be to teach students to decode patterns to move words into sight word memory.

Teachers are encouraged to develop intentional and robust instructional routines to support all students. The research shows that the brain responds to phonics instruction that is engaging, multisensory, and cumulative. While there is not one specific phonics scope and sequence, most research-based phonics instruction follows an organized structure that involves less complex letter-sound relationships to more complex ones.

Utilize the “Phonics Instruction” template to complete this assignment.

Part 1: Explicit Instruction and Intentional Instructional Routines

Choose a grade level K-3 for this assignment and review the standards from the state you plan to teach in. After reviewing the grade level reading foundational standards, choose one and create a 10-15 minute explicit introductory phonics lesson.

Part 2: Reflection

After reviewing the grade level foundational standards and creating an explicit phonics lesson, write a 150-250 word reflection on how the Science of Reading was used to address the components of the phonics lesson.

Support your assignment with a minimum of two scholarly resources.

While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected. Source documentation should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Before beginning the assignment, review the rubric to familiarize yourself with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is in Class Resources if you need assistance.
