Yspaniola believes that all children in the Dominican Republic should have access to education and full citizenship. They provide Spanish language literacy classes in Batey Libertad to students between the ages of 4 and 15. The students are arranged into six different groups based on age and ability, and this helps students develop literacy skills much quicker than in public schools. In addition to learning Spanish language literacy, Yspaniola focuses on skills such as emotional intelligence,…

Inadequate development of lower order skills prevents higher order skills from being acquired. Early oral language development is the main precursor of reading development. Reading levels of deaf or hard of hearing students are delayed due to the limited amount of reading they are exposed to as children, difficulties with language comprehension and cognition are among the subjects that need to be addressed by educators (Marschark et al., 2012). Children who are deaf or hard of hearing commonly…

“Dyslexia is a disorder that is characterized by a difficulty processing words” (Kuwana). Another way to describe dyslexia is as the American Heritage Dictionary defines it: “A learning disability marked by impairment in the ability to read.” (Hoiland).

The main objective for this lesson was; that students will be able to actively listen to a story as the teacher reads aloud. Students will be asked to make predictions throughout the story. I encouraged students to consider the pictures and other clues within the context when creating predictions. The Read Aloud connected to a variety of course content and allowed me to encourage students to connect…

impossible for a person to live a productive, happy and healthy life without the ability to read. Reading is defined by Mesmer and Griffith (2005-06, p. 367) as the ability to recognise words and understand the meaning of both individual words, and the sentences they form, thereby drawing meaning from text. However, Reutzel and Cooter (2013, p. 9) argue that, with the introduction of technology, reading has become a multifaceted ability which requires the learning of a complex set of skills,…

My parents also got us in reading summer programs through the local library. My boyfriend and I have a daughter who is now ten months old, we try to read to her whenever we can. I enjoy reading Dr. Seuss books to her, since he has always been a favorite author of mine. I also have always had an interest in mystery and…

cursive is that you might have a little sibling that needs help with cursive. then they might ask you and then you would have to tell them to ask the mom or dad. If we don’t keep teaching cursive then some children might miss out on some things like reading recipes. because they are in cursive so they just cant read moms recipes or dads or grandmas because most adults wright in cursive but not all. We still should be taught cursive because it is very helpful and we will need…

automatically know that this student does not care about any aspect of history, because the student does this every time I am there. So, trying to make students or write about a subject they hate is a huge difficulty because students already do not like reading and writing. In my observation and artifacts, I have found that student engagement in a large factor when thinking about social studies…
