Reflections on Observation Task 3: Teaching Shared/Guided

Reading

1. Which concepts about print (CAP), phonological awareness, letter knowledge and
or phonics did the teacher focus on?

The CAP is the Shortcut word the short sentences concepts about print, and it can be viewed as
basic knowledge about how print in general, and books work." (Holdgreve-Resendez, 2010a)

a) What did strategies/activities the teacher use to help the students understand
the concept being taught?

Print carries a message (even if “pretend reading”). Books are organized, with a cover,

title, and author, Directionality: Reading flows in a particular and consistent direction, left to

right and top to bottom. Printed language consists of letters, words, and sentences (gradually

learn to distinguish between). One-to-one matching: More experienced readers begin to

recognize matching or upper and lower-case letters. Concepts About Words Concepts About

Letters.

Besides, the strategies the teacher can use for it is when she starts reading the story are,

reading from left to right, reading from top to bottom, letters and words convey a message.

The print is what we understand and the "return sweep," to move from one line to the next.

However, the final point is Illustrations in a book correspond to the print, Every book as a

front, back, and an author.
