Decent Essays
During the literacy module, I was able to learn the importance of building communication in literacy, and reflect on how I am already providing support to my student. I was also able to learn more ideas about the theoretical foundations and the practical strategies to help to prepare and build upon the skills my student already have. I also learned that with the strategies provided in each module, each focused on the adaptation and accommodation that makes the strategies individualized for student instruction. I also liked how each module started with the lowest level of literacy skills, and gave you strategies to build upon those skills by promoting meaningful access to literacy. Overall, the modules allowed me to practice with the application

The drive to push and better yourself to grasp onto unexpected possibilities, we call opportunities. The belief and confidence that you hold within you, we call faith. Independence as your hope, in all experiences that you’ll be able to make something towards your future.…

    Literacy Instruction Framework The ability to read and write does not develop naturally. Teaching reading and writing to emergent readers and writers needs careful planning and systematic instruction. In a joint position and statement of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and International Reading Association (IRA), it stated that “learning to read and write is a complex, multifaceted process that requires a wide variety of instructional approaches” (1998, p. 206). Children need regular meaningful and active experiences with print so they can understand from an early reading and writing are valuable life- tools.…

    Currently, I am taking Advance Literacy Practices and the student I am tutoring a hates reading and writing.

    Literacy has always been an important part of my life, but in my early years, reading and writing was a tremendous challenge for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, I’m reminded of a variety of things, moments like going camping or riding a bicycle. But most importantly, being the oldest one and having to set an example for my sisters. It’s what I had to do since I was the oldest. If I didn’t advise my sisters on the right path since the beginning, then they wouldn't be as far up the trail of education as they are today.…

    Literacy is how we read and write, thus it is extremely important to involve literacy when teaching various subjects. These subjects include physical education, science, mathematics, art, and etc. Without reading and writing, we would not be able to retain the majority of the information communicated. As Fisher and Ivey specified “your cognitive interaction with the information presented would be extremely limited” (7). This being said, we can imagine what it would be like to sit in a classroom, only observing and listening to what is being taught.…

    Throughout this course I have gained knowledge about myself as an educator and how to create an effective literacy classroom. My literacy philosophy, literacy instruction topics, insights into literacy instruction and research and the seven pillars of literacy development are all important aspects of what I have learned and will apply to my classroom A teaching philosophy is an important base to every classroom, having specific components of my teaching philosophy that related to literacy helps keep my classroom organized and focused when it comes to literacy instruction. One key aspect of my literacy philosophy is exposure to various forms of literature, I feel that the more you expose students to literature, and the more varieties if literature made available to them, the more likely they are to have a natural desire to read and write on their own. Another component I find important is applying literacy instruction to every day real world contexts.…
