Phonemic Awareness/Phonics: Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in words. More specifically, a phoneme is the smallest part of spoken language that makes a difference in the meaning of a word.

Phonemic instruction always occurs in spoken form, which means that all students can benefit from instruction, regardless of their…

The middle school that I currently work in, has several students that are English learners. It was not easy not knowing choosing a student to work with, since many students need the help. After talking to Mrs. Kline the intervention facilitator she directed me to a 6th grade teacher, Mr. Tate. Mr. Tate teaches language arts to the students who have problems with literacy in learning. The students are both English learners and students who are new to the United States. After talking to Mr. Tate…

Problem description A common problem with museums today is that they place heavy emphasis on reading as a method of delivering information. While effective for many, there are specific groups of people that are either not capable of reading, struggle to read dense blocks of text, or do not have the attention span to read.

There are chapters about how…
