Teaching Language Arts-Strands

It is important for teachers to understand the five different strands of language arts because it is essential for them to comprehend in order to teach it appropriately. One thing that is important for all students is to learn how to read, listen, write, and speak. Once a teacher understands how important it is to get all five strands into a days lesson plan the easier it will be to teach students the correct way to accomplish those task such as writing. Teachers need to know how to read, write and speak correctly so they should understand the full expectation of students needing to know how to do the same. Without all of these components of language arts where would the world be today? We wouldn't have teachers, doctors, or even journalist if people couldn't read, write, listen, or speak publicly.

  1. Mariah,
    I agree that teachers should understand the importance of the strands in language arts. Every day we model to our students our expectations,therefore, we must be proficient so that we can help them to grasp the concept as well. Great post!

  2. I agree as well, the more we understand as teachers the better prepared we are for what our students will need.

  3. This is very true. We can not teach something that we do not know our self's. If we as teachers are having troubles doing one of these while teaching it, it might not be taught as well as it needs to be.

  6. Very good point. I honestly cannot even think about where the world would be today if it weren't for the five strands. This really makes me think about how important it is to successfully teach language arts to our students.

  7. I agree. Teachers need to be understand all the language arts parts and know how they work together. It's like a recipe, if one ingredient is off or missing, the recipe may not be totally ruined, but it won't be the best it could be, as it was intended.
