• HOTS
inferring
• To help students stay focused.
• Develop skills to find answers.
questioning
Identifying big ideas and supporting details
determining importance
• Making connections between things.
• Combining ideas.
• Allowing an evolving understanding of text.
synthesizing
The use of photographs in the curriculum enhances teaching by improving students’ understanding, making it easier for teachers to explain concepts, and ensuring clearer comprehension for learners.
pictures and objects
The instruction should include activities where children learn the alphabet and letters through songs, play, and materials like blocks, plastic letters, and books.
letters and words
This early learning is the beginning of a child’s awareness of sound and one of the foundation blocks for communication through speaking, listening, reading, and writing
sounds
You can define words during a read-aloud by pointing out part of an illustration that shows the meaning of a word, showing facial expressions or moving your body in a way that provides explanation, or giving a brief definition.
read aloud experiences
This is crucial for developing reading and writing skills. It involves attuning children to the sounds of their language, enhancing their sensitivity to spoken language sounds. Engaging in activities that promote this awareness can prevent difficulties in writing and spelling.
phonemic awareness
A way of teaching reading that stresses the acquisition of letter-sound correspondences and their use in reading and spelling.
phonic instructions
This begins when students can read connected text with 90% or better accuracy, usually by midyear of first grade. Before beginning fluency instruction, struggling readers may need additional phonics and word study instruction.
fluency instruction
Instruction in vocabulary involves far more than looking up words in a dictionary and using the words in a sentence. Vocabulary is acquired incidentally through indirect exposure to words and intentionally through explicit instruction in specific words and word-learning strategies.
vocabulary instruction
The purpose of reading is comprehension. Getting meaning from written text is a major goal of reading comprehension instruction, therefore, is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences they must have if they are to become competent and enthusiastic readers.
comprehension instruction
It refers to the practical skills of reading, writing, and math needed to function effectively in a community.

- Student-led Learning (Cooperative Learning)
- Inquiry-based Classroom Environment
- Collaborative Activities
- HOTS Activities
- Creative Learning
It is a teaching method that encourages students to take charge of their own learning. It is also known as self-directed learning.
student-led learning (cooperative learning)
It is a method where students are encouraged to ask questions, explore, and solve problems. It is a student-centered approach that emphasizes the
process of learning rather than just the final product.
inquiry-based classroom environment
These are activities where people work together in groups or pairs to complete tasks or solve problems.
collaborative activities
Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is a conceptpopular in American education. It distinguishes critical thinking skills from low-order learning outcomes, such as those attained by rote memorization. HOTS include synthesizing, analyzing, reasoning, comprehending, application, and evaluation.
