“The Posionwood Bible”, written by Barbara Kingsolver, is a tale of the Price family’s mission trip to spread the word of God in a primitive town called Kilanga within the Belgian Congo. Although the book is about the whole family’s experience, each chapter includes many narrations from different narrators, also known as a multi-voiced narrative. The multi-voiced narrative allows for the reader to view the story through different members of the family, and this reveals previously hidden aspects of the story. Nathan Price, the minister, spearheads the trip, but his narration is not included. The family members within the book who do share their stories are Rachel, Leah, Adah, Ruth May, and their mother Orleanna Price.…

During the assessment when my student came across a word he didn’t know, he’d often times skip it or mumble passed it. I felt like if gaining his confidence and teaching him strategies he would become a more confident oral fluent reader. I also did several informal assessments while observing him in the classroom through the read next to assignment, listening to him read aloud in class, and looking at his coursework. In finding this out I felt there were two main areas I wanted to work on with my case study student one mainly oral reading fluency, but also support him in understanding constant digraphs. For his oral reading fluency, my case study student and I did activities such as choral reading, repetition sentences, and reading aloud together.…
He incorrectly identified the word “it” for “I,” “of” for “on,” “shopkeeper” for “shopker” and “pouring” for “peering.” He also omitted the s from the word keys. This data gave him a total of seventy-three words per minute. Shevaun read with prosody as he paid attention to phrases in quotation marks and read it with rhythm. While his accuracy was good for most of the passages, he got a median score of seventy-three which placed him in the 50th percentile rank on the Oral Reading Fluency raw scores table of grades 1-8 norm-referenced scale complied by Jan Hasbrouck in 2005.…

As many teachers search for new strategies and interventions to address the lack of fluency within their reading programs, Repeated Reading (RR) appears to be a topic of curiosity. RR is an evident based strategy designed to increase reading fluency and comprehension through the development of automatic word processing and contextualized linguistic effect (Winter, 2007). Similar to the text features on a cell phone, automatic word processing is the ability to detect and comprehend a word effortlessly as the viewer glares to the next set of letters. This skill is key in increasing fluency as the reader spends little time decoding the words before them.…
Academic Review Reading Fluency Daniel’s reading fluency at roughly a fourth grade level.

Thalia’s Progress From the video, it was learned that Thalia is a student who had half of her class in English and half of the class in Spanish. Thalia is a kindergarten student where she works with her teacher Jim St. Clair, to learn how to sound out words, read, write, and recognize words that are familiar to her. Thalia’s literacy skills develop over the year because she is able to sound out most of the letters while she is writing. Someone that Jim St. Clair did with Thalia and is students is that they did guided reading. While watching the video I saw that when they were doing guided reading it really helped Thalia out.…

For centuries, countless men and women have turned to the Bible to encounter the Lord God, and to understand better the reality of life on earth and in heaven. From the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, people have searched for God's truth, counsel, and words of comfort and strength. Each of the biblical books contained in Sacred Scripture speak to us in various ways. In particular, the prophetic books in the Old Testament echo God's word in a uniquely powerful and vivid manner. Among them, the book of the prophet Isaiah holds a preeminent position in Sacred Scripture, and in the hearts of many biblical scholars and lovers of Scripture.…
Deborah holds a very prominent role in scripture, as she exemplifies characteristics that all catholic women and young girls should aspire to take on. Deborah, “the mother of Israel (Judges 5:7)”, led a very prosperous life, as she preached the word of the lord, and gave out great advice to those who were in need of it. Deborah was a prophetess, an honored judge, and a warrior. As the story opens in Judges 4, Deborah is settling disputes brought to her while she sits under the “palm of Deborah”, a tree in which people would come to her seeking help.…
READING The Basic Reading Skills composite measures EE107’s ability to read a list of words and correctly pronounce nonsense words. EE107’s standard score of 75 falls in the low range at the 5th percentile, indicating that she performed at or 5 percent of her peers. Based on EE107’s performance on this composite, it appears that she will benefit from explicit instruction on word recognition skills and phonics skills. Reading Fluency refers to the ability to read quickly and accurately.…
A miscue is a place in which a reader's observed response (what the reader reads) does not match the expected response (what is printed in the text) (Goodman, Watson, & Burke, 2005). The term miscue is used instead of the term mistake because of the negative connotations associated with the words error and mistake. Thus, in order to observe in these group of students the aforementioned processes, I aim to develop what is called a Miscue Analysis and a Retrospective Miscue Analysis, in which researchers and teachers observe patterns that occur in oral reading and target appropriate strategies to the individual reader. Miscue Analysis allows researchers and teachers to identify reading strategies that the reader is using to make sense of printed text.…
The purpose of running records is for teachers to assess their students and observe reading behaviors. Running records determine whether or not a student is ready to move up a level or stay at the same level. It’s an opportunity for teachers to be able to differentiate instruction for students based on their academic needs. It entails the teacher taking notes when the student is orally reading a leveled text. Part one of the reading record is the teacher assessing the student as he or she reads.…
FIGURES OF SPEECH IN THE BIBLE (Adapted from McCune) “Generally an expression is figurative when it is out of character with the subject discussed, or is contrary to fact, experience, or observation” (Roy Zuck, Basic Bible Interpretation, p. 145). Matt 19:25 Camel through the eye of a needle (it’s impossible – not explained by a gate in the wall) 1. Recognizing figures of speech • Look for the normal or plain sense first.…
