Guided Response: In addition to responding to your instructor’s comments and questions, respond to at least two of your peers. Reflect on your own experience learning word patterns. Apply this to your peers’ examples. Week 2 discussion 2Stephanie WinscherIn your discussion prompt, explain why it is important to teach word patterns. Also, describe how you will teach word patterns in your classroom. Your textbook provides several examples. How can you be creative?Word patterns are important to teach because they educate students on proper ways to form words, sounds, and associate words within our written language. According to William, Phillips-Birdsong, Hufnagel & Hungler (2009), word pattering helps students to see “regularities, patterns, and derivations in English words — how words work in our writing system [as well as] how to use this word knowledge strategically to support their spelling attempts during writing activities and to help them decode unfamiliar words while reading (William, Phillips-Birdsong, Hufnagel & Hungler,2009). Furthermore, word patterning is important for developing the necessary knowledge children need in order to further their reading and writing skills as well as create necessary patterning which will help them clue together similarities among words and their families, as well as determine the differences. Rasinski & Padack (2013), suggest the teacher have students compare and contract word patterns or features in words which are common and which are different. In my classroom I could obtain this by having my students sort words using their word knowledge to determine which words go together and which don’t. I could do this by picking a constant or a word starting with “dis” or the sound “c” makes to form different words such as the sound the word “cat” makes vs. the sound the word “century” makes. Additionally, I can have my students keep a journal of the different sounds we go over in class and refer to this self-made manual to complete the sorting exercises.The most creative thing I can think to do with my students to help them with not only word patterning but building phonic skills is poetry. Adding poetry to tasks can allow students to show off their rhyming or word association skills. I can pair students and have them create a poem together so they can play off of each other’s strengths, but I can also have students create individualized poems where they can truly show their comprehension of word patterning, as well as express their creativity in an form of art.ReferencesRasinski, T. & Padak, N.D.

This will allow the students not to only learn the material that is being taught but instead actually fully comprehend it as well. This is a really important aspect when considering if your students are actually learning the material. The students need to know what all the words mean and how to spell them before they can actually put a meaning and correlation to all of the words. Many people think that spelling and strengthen the vocabulary but I believe that this is one of the most important steps with teaching K-2. Also, describe how you will teach word patterns in your classroom.I will teach word patterns by just introducing many different types of words. I will then go over each word and explain all of the meanings. I will also have the students write in their journal and have them try and use some of the word patterns on their own. I believe self education in this sense would work very well because they are starting to understand how capable they are. This would also create a lot of confidence in themselves as well. How can you be creative?It can be creative by just introducing new techniques to them. We can also do interactive games through technology. I believe that the most creative ways to get the students interested is to have all of your students wanting to get involved with each other. I also think that if your students want to get involved, they are committed to learning. I feel like that would be a job well done as a teac
