Question 1
An analysis of a student's reading habits, attitudes, self-efficacy, usage of
methods, and socioeconomic position, all of which have a significant impact on
reading proficiency, can be found in a reading profile. This will assist the teacher
in determining the number, makeup, and nature of students in their classroom.
subsequently giving teachers the knowledge they need to give children with
different literacy requirements specialized education.
Effective language instruction is based on three pillars: building background
knowledge and prior knowledge, accessing material, and language extension.
Cummins thinks there are three main components to teaching English. To teach
about children's literature, use these pillars. Include exercises that help
learners' language skills in each pillar as you read a book to them.
Build on past knowledge
Knowing the context of new information aids in its interpretation. We interpret
what we read using prior information. Without some prior knowledge, we were
unable to interpret the information. Understanding a subject better aids our
comprehension of what we're reading. An scholarly paper targeted at
paediatricians is challenging to understand if you are not a professional
paediatrician since you lack the requisite background. If your students lack
background knowledge on a subject connected to a book you want to use, you
must provide them adequate background knowledge to help them comprehend
what they will be reading.

, You must scaffold your learners' learning by creating specialized learning
resources if a text or book you want to use in class is beyond their level of
proficiency. To make a point, a teacher might use images or visuals. It is
possible to act out text passages that the students don't grasp. This gives the
lesson movement and a visual explanation. A dictionary, another essential tool
in the classroom, may be required by the teacher when students don't
understand a concept or the meaning of terms. Students may look up
challenging terms. Always consider the learner's background when relating new
information. Make the new information familiar to you and personal. Students
benefit from this when they learn new topics.
Extend language
The vocabulary and comprehension of every language student who wants to
advance their proficiency and usage of the language must grow. Only by
making an effort to learn new words and focusing on their definitions, synonyms,
antonyms, and homonyms as well as the meanings of any prefixes, roots, or
suffixes, word families, and general as well as metaphorical applications of
words will one be able to do this. Students should also get familiar with idioms,
proverbs, puns, and jokes.
Question 2.2
Consider the poem below and then explain how you would use any one of
Cummins’ pillars to help learners access the poem’s meaning. (2)
The first pillar, which is the activation of prior knowledge, is what I would employ.
The poem is about a virus, and in recent years, the corona virus has badly
afflicted the entire planet. In order for them to comprehend the poem's core
meaning, I would focus a lot on the information that was accessible about the
virus they had experienced and utilize their own experiences to activate more
background knowledge they already had about the virus. Before I begin the
poem, I would have a fantastic discussion with them about what they already
know about the virus and introduce them to further material to assist them have
a better knowledge of what they will be confronting.
Question 2.3
Explain whether you think the poem and the image in Question 2.2 work well
together to convey the meaning of the story and provide a reason for your
answer. (3)
The poem's meaning is enhanced by the way the visual and poem work
together. The image that was used to accompany the poem and help learners
grasp it was completely suited and appropriate. The poem discusses a sickness
that spreads from one person to another through sneezing. In the image, one
person can be seen sneezing while the other avoids him or moves away to
indicate that he does not want to be in close proximity to the sneezing person.
The image conveys the poem's main theme by showing how the virus spreads
graphically and how people respond to sneezes.
