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…

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has many similarities that relate to the world that is lived in today. In the book the city was just like the society today, before everything had slowly changed overtime. Technology was important and everything else, like books, faded away. The citizens, including Beatty, Montag, Faber and Mildred are blinded, and think it's ok for books to be burned and don't question anything. Until one day where Montag decides to actually look into the books instead of burning…

A3 The four contextual factors that I have decided to write about are age, language, special needs and learning styles and modalities. The first I will talk about is age. When designing a lesson plan I will need to take into consideration the age of my students. The lessons and assessments need to be designed for students in the 3rd grade who are eight, turning nine. 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…

Students’ who lack prior knowledge often have trouble and/or are not successful understanding (comprehending) text. According to Abdelaal, Sase and Saleh (2014), it is important to “activate the correct prior knowledge to make the reading task easier for readers” (Abdelaal, Sase, & Saleh, 2014, p. 126). In the story, My Itty-Bitty Bio: Maya Angelou, students’ will need to have quite a bit of world and literacy knowledge to comprehend this text. Students’ will need to be familiar…

this case study was to fulfill the requirements of EDU 438. This project was designed to help me make observations on one particular student and make instructional decisions as time went on. During this case study I tutored one child, assessing her reading strengths and weaknesses. I provided materials and lesson plans that helped build on her strengths and help her with her weaknesses. My main goal was to have the student gain more confident and become a more established reader. “Lacie”…

learned to read is kind of difficult especially starting at very young age. I do remember my grandmother telling me that my reading skills were very good compared to others who started out like I did. When my siblings heard about how good my reading skills were, they encouraged me to read more books so I could get more practice. Since I was always around my grandmother, reading had become interesting and I somehow found myself wanting to read every chance I got. Learning how to read was…
