Cold reading

some ways, the needs of students remain unchanged while the ways in which literacy is taught has changed drastically. In other ways, adolescent literacy itself has evolved into a new, three-dimensional creature with its own rules and expectancies. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening are skills that are used in every classroom and beyond that into the workforce. However, over time, education professionals have come to realize that the ways in which students read, write, speak, and listen…

Five Areas of Reading Instruction Sara Cordes Mohave Community College Five Areas of Reading Instruction The five areas of reading instruction are essential to the learning process that all children must go through to become well educated in their lives as adults.

in my life where I haven't loved it. My mom is a teacher, so as a child reading was part of our everyday life. We had annual passes to the library and would attend the mommy and me events. I remember when I was about four or five, I would sneak a flashlight into my room and read Wizard of Oz. Although I couldn't actually read the words out of this huge chapter book, I would make the story up, pretending I knew what I was reading. As I got older, I matured on to books such as: Junie B Jones,…

My path to literacy began when I was old enough for my mother, father, and older sisters to read to me. I began listening to books before I could speak, and I believe my exposure to books influenced my speech development because it expanded my vocabulary. Throughout elementary school, not only did I read often, but I also played various computer games that helped form my technological literacy; socialized with my family’s friends, which supported my social literacy; and spent much of my time at…

I will need to develop lessons using skills appropriate to the development of eight year olds. I will need to consider how long…

This activity had students view art images and “read” what was happening in the artwork. They would then discuss it in small groups and finally write it down. The students were able to expand their knowledge of what literacy and reading can be. They used different aspects that all incorporated literacy. They used the visual, oral and written form in order to complete the activity conducted. Students are exponentially increasing their interactions with different visual images that…
