My Love For Reading Research Paper

Reading is something as child I loved to do and I still do to this day. I want to share my love for reading to my students. As students most students love to read and can’t wait to learn to read. If you find a book that a student likes then you have made that students day because you know that they are going to bring the book home and are going to read it to their parents. When you are teaching students to read you are teaching them a lifelong lesson that they are going to use for the rest of their life. In reading you are teaching them about phonics, word order, and fluency. Students can learn how to think about the text through thinking within the text, thinking beyond the text, and thinking about the text are all the ways that a student can learn.

Reading is in our lives and we have to be able to teach it in the way they can learn and can succeed. My role as a teacher for reading is that I’m going to have my students learn about reading through so many different genres and I’m also going to have them learn through three different texts that I’m going to explain later on. When students are learning to read you can learn through so many genres from fiction to poetry. You have to be able to teach students and you can teach them the genres through the three texts

    Reading is undervalued in today’s society. Not many students understand the importance of reading and how useful it is in life. When I was, younger reading was never my strongest subject. Reading at a lower level than others in my class made me feel less educated. It wasn’t like I pushed reading away, it was just something that I wasn’t interested in.…

    Reading is the foundation of everything “Whether you want to be a reading teacher or not you’re going to be one” says Patty Wagenknecht. She was a language arts teacher for 30 years after that she was on the School Board for 12 years. Patty says she was all over the Pettis county school district, at one point she was in charge of going around making sure that all the teachers had everything they needed to teach appropriately. She would go every summer to find some sort of class or seminar to further her education and get up to date information. “You never really have a summer”…

    Reading is something many people take for granted; in fact, it is sometimes a struggle to persuade people to read at all. In schools, there are typically a group of students that are “below-average” who have an “I don’t care” type of attitude towards learning and reading. This attitude causes them to receive poor grades in their classes and they make life strenuous on themselves. On the other spectrum are the areas where being able to read means you have great intelligence and great privilege. Reading and books aren’t as common and people aren’t gaining as much information as they could.…

    Each and every person conceptualizes reading in a different way. In their article “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” Christina Haas and Linda Flower examine the different ways readers, mainly students, read a text and break it down for post read analysis. They believe that every student finds different meaning in every text they read as they show when they state, “There is a growing consensus in our field that reading should be thought of as a constructive rather than as a receptive process: that “meaning” does not exist in a text but in readers and the representations they build” (167). This shows that they do not share the same ideas about reading that many K-12 institutions throughout the united states do considering…

    Chapter Eight Aesthetics

    Chapter eight highlights the importance of student’s prior knowledge, purposes of reading, and provides strategies to be used before, during, and after reading. Students must learn reading comprehension because without it reading does not provide the reader with any information. As a future educator, I will teach reading comprehension so I can help my students develop the knowledge, abilities, and experiences to become enthusiastic readers. Activating and using background knowledge is important to reading comprehension. I agree with the author that if readers have not been exposed to a writer’s language patterns, or to the objects and theories the writer discusses, then the students’ comprehension is incomplete.…

    As children, we are taught that the ability to read is important and are even required to have a period of silent sustained reading. There is an implication that reading is always literary, however, there isn’t one specific subject that is tied to reading. I’ve read history books, books about animals, encyclopedias, anything to just read. Not only did it deepen my passion for books, it helped me develop my writing skills. I gained knowledge from the books that I read which evolved into writing my own stories.…

    I never intended to be an illegal smuggler. Seriously. But when four-year-old me found out that preschool had "naptimes" (in which apparently nobody napped, making it a waste of time to me), I decided to take matters into my own hands, with drastic measures. The next day, my top-secret contraband came in with me, in the form of a book. At 1:30, while everyone else did whatever preschoolers do during naptime, the book snuck out of its carefully concealed hiding place and I disappeared into its pages.…

    According to Howard Gardner there are multiple ways that children learn, and they possess multiple intelligences. It is the teacher?s job to not only teach the material, but also make sure that students learn the material. By knowing your students and they way they comprehend material, you are best able to help them understand the learning segment. I have found that the students in my class best learn when hearing and seeing the literacy strategy. Thus, throughout each lesson I will provide visuals, along with orally modeling the process of retelling, sequencing, and summarizing the story while in a whole class setting to guide lower level students through the learning process.…

They would always find a way to make reading one of the most important things for the day. In the classrooms there were all kinds of books, books with colorful pictures, books with lots of words, and some with fewer words.…

    Ironically, though I wasn’t immediately taken with reading, I became an avid reader after those first few difficult years. I was a regular at my elementary school’s small library, and I competed in everything book-related that I could. Battle of the books, spelling bees, and English classes were my favorite pastimes in grade school. Other children dreaded completing summer reading and literature studies, but I looked at reading…

    Learning to Read Mason Cooley once said, “Reading gives us some place to go when we stay where we are.” When I first learned to read I was in 1st grade. My first grade class was small, with small tables, a lot of students, but always had a nice smell to it. I remember trying to read there but I just couldn’t focus because the class seemed so lively.…

    My teacher has guided me in reading books by interesting in-class reading resources such as How Reading Changed My Life by Anna Quindlen, and Saved by Malcolm X. I love Anna ’s quote “All of reading is really only finding the ways to name ourselves, and, perhaps, to name the others around us so that they will no longer seem like strangers.” Additionally, Saved by Malcom X gives me inspiration through his homemade education in prison.…

    Life Goals Research Paper

    My life goals are to complete my Graduate Program in School Psychology; this would lead me to fulfill my second goal, which is to become an independent individual who can be economically self-supporting and self-sufficient doing something that I enjoy and, in the meantime, helping the young generation. My third goal is to have a family of my own with a husband who is caring and devoted to his family. My first goal, at this time, is the most important one for me because this one can lead to other goals being accomplished or realized in the future and it is the one that I have the most control over. This goal moves me into a state of flow because it is a goal that I am focused on since I first entered FIU. I knew that, no matter what my degree was, a Graduate Program was the next logical…
