ELI201 - Literacy English Home Language Assigment

Assignment Task

Introduction

A balanced approach is a decision-making approach through which a teacher makes thoughtful decisions each day about the best way to help each child become a better reader and writer. A balanced approach requires and enables a teacher to reflect on what he or she is doing and to modify instruction daily, based on the needs of each individual learner. The modifications are drawn from a broad repertoire of strategies and sound understanding of children, learning and the theoretical underpinnings of these strategies. You will be required to draw on your research about the balanced approach and write an essay explaining this approach and create workstations based on the components of reading.
