I don’t really remember learning how to read. I remember my brother reading a lot, I use to watch him open books and read them. I remember he was always big on speeches too. I started reading Dora because I really liked the show then from there I eventually moved on to Eloise. I loved reading about Eloise. Reading, at the time I began, it was for fun. As I began to grow I realized how much reading meant to the world. Reading opened doors to everything, from imagination to learning to words to…

In the course, Celebrate Thorough Reading, I had to reflect on a reading goal that was important to me. The goal that I chose was reading aloud to your students. Shared book reading has been linked to emergent literacy. With this being said, when teachers read to students they are leaning how to recognize letters and understand that print represents a spoken word (Duursma, Augustyn, Zuckerman, 2009). Shared reading is one of the important ways to teach children how to read and understand print…

2 React: I really like this article. It was really funny to read. It is very rare to lost your wallet and get some of it back two weeks later. Most people lost their wallet and never ever get it back. Reilly Flaherty and Brynn Gingras make this story hilarious to read. The note that the anonymous guy writes was the funniest. The anonymous take the money and stuff, but sent a letter explain about it. 3 Relate: I can relate to this because I have lost my wallet before, but luckily I found it…

I remember all the children; white, black, Hispanic, and so much more. I had never seen so many different colored people all in one school. I remember walking up to two women, one black, one white. Their names were Mrs. Brown and Ms. Mallard. Mrs. Brown had light orange curly hair, very tall, and a Jamaican accent. Ms. Mallard, on the other hand, had blonde curly hair, average height, no accent, and green eyes. She spoke very articulately, pronouncing each word fully. My mother and watched the…

Introduction Preschoolers are classified as children who are too young for school yet but are ready to explore learning and processing. I didn’t think 3 year-olds would be able to comprehend and understand ideas and creativity. I was shocked to find this not true. Emergency reading is literacy developing in a child by exploration of the environment and print. Preschoolers have amazing drive to learn and are much more smarter that I ever imagined. The student I worked with was named Jace. He…

Growing I was a part of a Caucasian family whose mom’s family came from England, while my dad’s family came from the East Coast. Both of my parents spoke English as their primary language so I naturally spoke English as well. I began to talk at an early age, and my parents say that I loved to communicate with people I knew. I remember when I read my first word at a coffee cart in Denver, and since then I have enjoyed reading books of all sizes. I don’t remember my parents reading novels when…
