Implementation plan - Using digital and multimodal text with struggling primary students

 


    I created a plan of implementation to support literacy learning using digital and multimodal text to use with below-level readers in my second-grade classroom. The beginning of the year DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) expectation for second grade is 18-20 these students demonstrated a DRA level of 12-14. These multimodal and digital texts will create a path of literacy learning in which students are not decoding and practicing fluency, therefore, allowing more energy to focus on comprehension skills (Johnson, 2014). I made decisions for this plan based on the Oklahoma State ELA Standards, student needs,  and using my district Wonder’s curriculum tools while also incorporating ideas around the use of digital and multimodal text learned from my current master’s class, textbooks, and articles I have read. My goal is for second graders to be excited by engaging activities in which they are able to use online resources with guidance to make meaning of multimodal and digital text. I have included traditional text through the use of Wonder’s by McGraw-Hill. Digital text choices include digital read alouds and books, videos, and websites for reading and research. I have also included opportunities for practice with digital tools. I will work with whole and small groups, and students will participate in partner work. Throughout this process, students will communicate, collaborate, create, comprehend, and use critical thinking to show an understanding of academic goals (Johnson, 2014).

    I couldn't see the SeeSaw activity since I can't get into your account so more explanation would be good.

Reflection of Implementation Plan

Image
  I have completed my digital and multi-modal text plan that I shared in a November post. This post will be a reflection on this implementation in my 2nd grade classroom. I created my plan for a small group of four students that are identified as below-level readers. I have a link to a slide that reviews my student goals which of course are important and central to the whole plan, but I also had a goal for myself with this plan. I set out to integrate digital text into my classroom to support literacy learning with a small group of students. Overall my students and I learned a lot about animal habitats and some of their habits through reading of digital texts, and I learned an equal amount about supporting literacy learning while using digital and multi-modal text along with digital tools to help students create products to demonstrate their learning.

Using Student Interests to Create

Image
Personal Digital Inquiry allows students and teachers to be involved in collaboration to discuss, analyze, and reflect so that knowledge is gained and is evident in student creations (Coiro et al., 2019). As an experienced primary teacher, I believe Personal Digital Inquiry (PDI) is best approached as first a guided inquiry so that learners become familiar with the process. One of the authors of From Curiosity to Deep Learning Personal Digital Inquiry in Grades K-5 share the initial joy of her first graders as she explained late in the year that they would use what they learned from prior inquiry projects to pick their own topic and engage in an inquiry of personal interest. She described the students’ excitement by reflecting on nods, big smiles, and quiet cheers (Coiro et al., 2019). As I imagine the scene in that first-grade classroom, I can almost hear the buzz of voices as they begin to discuss and share their topic ideas with one another. Students are naturally curious about ma...
