Advanced Literacy Practice

Decent Essays

    “People don 't realize how a man 's whole life can be changed by one book” (Malcolm X). Books are beneficial in an individual’s vocabulary, memorization, and perspectives in life. In “On Being 17, Bright, and Unable to Read” by David Raymond, Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez, and “My Alma Mater” from The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X, all the authors struggled with something particular in literacy, but they all had different motives for improving their reading and writing. As seen in the three articles, each author had their own purpose in why literacy can be a good advantage and figured out different strategies to help ameliorate themselves.

    1) At the beginning of the semester my view of reading and literacy was that it was fundamentally about how to read text, which involved teaching children about phonics and phonemic awareness. That has changed over the semester because I now realize how reading and literacy instruction are much more than simply knowing how to read. Spelling, writing, and comprehension are also intertwined with reading and literacy instruction. All of these elements work together to make a child a better reader and understand what they are reading. I now believe that in order for a child to be a “good reader” they need to have basic phonics skills and phonemic awareness, but they also need to have reading fluency, such as prosody, voice, smoothness, and expression.…
