INSTRUCTIONAL
STRATEGIES
Understanding
student needs
In order to effectively teach all students teachers have to
begin with an understanding of what each student needs in order
to learn.
Analyzing
the Resources
Students enter classrooms with a wide variety of literacy experiences.
In order to meet these growing differences, teachers need to
become adept at matching books to readers.
Instructional
Approaches
There are many approaches to literacy instruction. The goal
of the effective teacher is to plan for approaches that provide
a balance of lecture, group work, discussion, activity, and
written and oral work.

ASSESSMENT
STRATEGIES
Reading
Effective teachers develop a repertoire of assessment strategies.
Since reading is so complex, it is important to use multiple
assessment techniques in order to get a truer picture of how
readers read.
Writing
Writing assessment can help teachers find out what children
have learned to do and what more they need to know.
Speaking
The purposes of assessing speaking and listening are the same
as assessing the other modes of language: to find out how well
students are doing and to gather information for next steps
in teaching.

APPROPRIATE FEEDBACK
Students
The purpose of feedback is to let students know how they are
progressing and to give strategies for improvement. Students
should be made aware of what they are doing correctly.
Student's
Family
It is important for teachers to provide their students families
with appropriate feedback about their children’s successes
as well as areas of need. Such feedback should be supplied on
a regular basis.
Faculty
and Administration
Besides students and their families, other teachers
and administrators will also want information about how students
progressed and the areas of need they may still have.
