To Kill A Mocking Bird Book Report

Decent Essays
In this picture at my home, Bradly, stage 4 is typing a book report on the classic novel, To Kill a Mocking Bird. Reading to book boosted his fluency and vocabulary. Writing the report ensured another part of his literary development, comprehension. According to toefljunior.lexile.com his lexile should be about 855L- 1165L. The book To Kill a Mocking Bird fits in that range (870L). Sadly, The Young Child carries no information for Bradly's developmental stage (4). http://toefljunior.lexile.com/en/what-does-a-lexile-measure-mean/

This image taken at my home of Bradly, stage 4 shows him engaging in some physical activity. The young athlete works on his legs while simultaneously befitting his physical development. The 15 year old's is in the midst of completing his daily workout, which should be about one hour long according to Kidshealth.com. The Young Child has no information on children in Bradly's age group. http://kidshealth.org/en/parents/fitness-13-18.html

In this image at my home, Ronald, stage 3, is positively enriching his physical development. As he engages in a water gun fight in the hot sun, Ronald is engaging in some very rigorous physical activity. Again, The Young Child doesn't cover development on Ronald's age. However, an article by Livestrong.com (an online source) recommends that a child Ronald's age

This activity positively influences his language development. The book he is reading is slightly above his reading level which ensures a challenge as well as enjoyment. Sadly, The Young Child doesn't cover information for Ronald stage (age 11 and stage 3), I can infer that Ronald's reading levels will increase and his fluency will slowly grow with practice. At his age he should be reading at a fifth grade level with a lexile score of 565L- 910L as stated by an online source.

    Christopher’s independent level for oral reading was at grade 2 which is 3 levels below his current grade placement. His instructional level was estimated at grade 5 and frustration reading level was at grade 6 on the Oral Reading Passages. Compared with his performance of grade 5 for independent reading on the GWL, Christopher’s independent level for the oral reading passages of the Ekwall/Shanker was inconsistent at grade 2.

    cues are vital aids for their comprehension. When children are young they start off by ‘reading’ the pictures as a strategy for developing an understanding of what is happening in stories and use those as explanations for the vocabulary used (Raising Children Network, 2014). Without these, children have no real means of actually making sense of the text read. Therefore, in order to educate our children fully in literacy, we need to include picture books in their repertoire. (Bearne,1999).…

    Mary Oliver Summary

    • 1268 Words
    • 6 Pages

    PART B: EXPLANATORY NOTES Assessment Summary Besides having good grammar, the narrative analysis revealed several indications that Oliver’s performance was below age-expectations in terms of his surface structure, cohesion and overall organization. Firstly, his surface structure was not age appropriate and lacking in certain aspects. Children age 4 or 5 generally achieve complexity in more than 20% of their utterances (Paul, 1981). With 26% of his narrative being complex sentences, it indicated that his level of sentence complexity was about 4 years below chronological age expectations, which also reduced his ability to express complex thoughts and ideas (Vasilyeva, Waterfall, & Huttenlocher, 2008). Hence, his story was significantly shorter than expected for his age.…
