Thus, my ideal therapy will focus and build on each other regarding the reading and writing portion. My ideal intervention programs will focus on meaning-based strategies in both reading and writing. Meaning-based strategies contrasting, recurrent, embedded, active, and meaningful (CREAM). Meaning that emphasis will be on the actual…
“Write me a story darling”. At age 5, I was sprung into a swirl of madness by my mother. My mother was the type of woman to not only make me read to her, but to also showcase all other areas of creativity with her especially writing stories. I was able to express myself freely in unique ways until the days of my eighth autumn came along: third grade. School incorporated the notion of conformity into my head. Ever since then, my writing has been full of obstacles and different styles. My…

The Dreaded Reading Class It was the first day of third grade. I jumped out of my moms car after kissing her on the cheek and hearing the routine “have a good day”. Jordy, my sister, and I walked in together reminiscing the previous years at Rising Star. Everyone was dressed in their favorite outfit to impress all their friends. Jordy and I fashioned our Limited Too dresses and sparkly back packs. We walked into the air conditioned building from the smoldering heat. This was the hard part; Jordy…

score well in writing. I believe she rushes through books. Upon observation I asked her why does she goes through books so fast. She explained to me that is due to the lack of high interest books in the library in school. She likes The Magic Tree House and the D.W. series.
