Emergent Level Reading Activity

 Scenario: You have six students in your second-grade class who scored Emergent level in reading after taking the AZELLA. You will be working with these students in a small group and focusing on phonemic awareness. Review the English Language Proficiency Standards on the Arizona Department of Education website and find the second-grade Reading Domain standards. Review Standard 2: Phonemic Awareness and the Emergent level performance indicators. Hint: There are six Emergent level performance indicators that focus on phonemic awareness labeled E-1, E-2, etc. Choose one or two performance indicators to focus on and create a 30-minute small group activity that will assess those indicators. Note: Consider using teaching strategies from 50 Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners. Incorporate skills and strategies that would apply to Emergent level learners including grouping techniques and/or cooperative learning strategies.
