03/24/2021 - SIM Project PD Attendance

I attended session #1 on 03/24/2021. This reminded me of the K-2 program that we use for reading called ECRI (Enhanced Core Reading Instruction). In ECRI, one section focuses on prefixes, suffixes and root words.

BKM SIM PD #1 (via zoom) March 24, 2021 8:30 am to 12:15 pm

Learned the Word Mapping Strategy.  
Word mapping strategy is a strategy for older students to learn how to predict meaning of unknown words.  It's a method of breaking up complex word into parts (prefix, root, suffix) in order to determine the definition of the word.

I attended the SIMS training on the Word Mapping Strategy on 3/24/2021.

I was provided with the guidance and tools that I will use to implement explicit instruction in word study with my students.

I attended the professional development on December 04, 06, & 07 of 2017 in Cleveland County, NC.

The Word Mapping Strategy is one I am very excited about using. I feel like this strategy will help all my students in one capacity or another. My struggling students will benefit by being able to decode words easier, and my stronger readers will become better prepared for state test such as ACT and SAT.

I attended this professional development on June 20, 2017.

The Word Mapping strategy is one I can see being used in every content class. I plan to teach it to my daughter who is a freshman in high school in hopes of helping her on her SATs. This is a lifelong strategy to be used.

The word mapping strategy provides students with a way to break words down into smaller parts to aid in determining meaning.

Students are taught this strategy using the mnemonic MAPS.
Map the word parts
Attack the meaning of each part
Predict the word's meaning 
See if you are right!

The instructor models each step and explains it then has the student's practice until they achieve proficiency with the strategy. Lists of prefixes, suffixes and roots along with their definitions are provided for students as a quick reference and to aid in learning.

This is a good strategy for learning word parts/morphology to help with comprehension.

12/5

The Word Mapping Routine incorporates the morphological components of English that are important for students to own so they can access meaning of many unknown words.  I like the process of making a predication and comparing it to the actual definition because it will make clear that sometimes the meanings of the roots are a more obscure link than a straightforward definition.

12/4- Word Mapping Strategy

We attended the word mapping strategy- having a strategy for students in the middle school to break apart words based on their morpheme (or meaningful parts) will be very helpful to many middle school teachers. The word map is a nice matrix to help students with decoding BIG words
