    This year I have the honor of spending my days with 24 five year just starting their literacy journey. The undertaking is a daunting task (thankfully I have an amazing classroom teacher leading the way), the standards in place for kindergarten students are high. Finding a balance between strategies that distill a text into identifying letters and producing letter sounds, and allowing the students to find delight in a book of their own choice is imperative. I am humbled daily by their fortitude and willingness to participate in the tasks necessary to become lifelong readers and writers. The pendulum swings between excitement and frustration during our ELA lessons, which leads me to reflect on my own literacy experiences, and wonder and hope that I can give them what they need.…

    Reading is a complex development process which integrates varying skills, some of which are acquired innately while others must be taught. For some children, the process of learning to read is natural and happens instinctively. For others learning to read needs to be explicit and intentional. Children progress at their individual pace often based on their unique experiences. These experiences are analogous to the socio-economic status and level of parental education, number of siblings, whether both parents work or does one parent stay home with the child and/or what type of preschool does the child attend (Zakariya, 2015).…
