Activity Title: Basic Literacy in Developing Literacy.
Learning Target: Demonstrate understanding on the Six Basic Strategies for Developing Literacy. Reference: 1. Visualizing is creating pictures in our mind as we read. It becomes an important way to comprehend our reading material. Example: Take a minute to imagine a holiday scene. Something that is a fond memory or a story that you share often with others. Maybe it is a Christmas morning, a Birthday Party or a thanksgiving Feast. As you are picturing your memory, think about the people who were there. What were they wearing? What conversations took place? What food did you eat? What did you smell. This is how an elementary teacher utilizes visualizing strategy in reading task in any subject it may be applicable. Exercise No. 1 As a future teacher, how will you able to apply visualizing strategy in your class? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 2. Inferring: Making inferences is often described as making a logical guess or “reading between the lines”. Jumiatry (2018) elaborated in this study, “making inference is often described as making a logical guess or “reading between the lines”. He quoted (Zeirs, 2015), readers make inferences when they are able to take their own experiences and combine them with information they gather from what they read. The result is that they create new meaning or draw a conclusion that is not explicitly stated in the reading. Exercise No. 2 Try This! Write your inference using short sentences. 1. My family and I have everything we need: tickets, popcorn, and candy? Inference: ___________________________________________________ . 2. Sam sat with a puzzle look on his face and then raised his hand in class. Inference: ___________________________________________________ . 3. We all grabbed our raincoat and umbrellas. Inference: ___________________________________________________ .
Paragraph 1: A boy asked his mother for help getting some things off a shelf. She took down some jars and brushes, and the boy brought them to the kitchen table. Next, he went to his mother’s desk and took out blank sheet of paper. He put the pieces of paper on the kitchen table. Finally, the boy filled a cup of water and sat down at the table with all of these things. Infer: What is the boy going to do? How do you know?
