Identifying Gianna's Skills

Improved Essays
Some of the clues that identify Gianna’s weak skills is that she hesitates when reading out loud, she is behind in her oral and reading skills and comprehension. Gianna also has a hard time remembering what she reads, and her word identification skills are limited. Gianna also struggles with her reading comprehension and how to apply it before, during, and after stories she reads. Another clue is that Gianna has no exposure or access to interesting books at home. Gianna also can only recognize limited words she sees on sight. If Gianna had more exposure to books at home and her parents read to her daily she probably would not be so far behind in her oral and reading skills and comprehension of the material she is reading.

    Irony, it’s a strange thing isn’t it? Think about it, the exact definition of irony is: a state of affairs or event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Liesel’s case, the irony of her obsession with stealing books, is that she didn’t even know how to read to begin with. It was mentioned in the beginning of the book that she didn’t know how to read, because it states “ when he made her point out any words she could read and actually say them, there were only three- the three main German words for ‘the’”…

Since my students are reading at different reading levels, I had to provide them with different reading passages based on their reading levels, I used a total of two different passages since I have two students reading at first grade level, and the…

Once she got comfortable enough she liked to talk about what she was going to do after school that day and after every few sentences of reading I would have to ask her to stay focused and get back on track.…

    Just like learning to walk or ride a bike, learning to read is one of life’s milestones. However, unlike walking and biking, reading skills are not suddenly obtained and then static throughout life. After learning to read initially, an individual’s reading skills, interests, and purposes further develop and change throughout their life. Furthermore, the means by which an individual improves their reading capabilities change over time as well. In the same way, I initially improved my reading ability and changed my interests through the help of my parents, then later my teachers, and finally, in spite of a dark period of little improvement, through my own effort.…
