that they become reading interventionists (Buehl, 2011; Gunning, 2018, IRA, 2012; Reed, Wexler, and Vaughn, 2012). Wendt (2013) affirmed the divide between literacy learning and content learning, and the assumption that academic learning presumes the mastery of basic literacy skills. Therefore, the teaching of basic decoding is within the scope of responsibilities for reading specialists and interventionists (Gunning, 2018, IRA, 2012; IRA, 2015). Leveraging the work of the reading specialists to…

Shevaun was given the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI) test. The QRI test is a test that is used to assess a student’s ability to recognize words and comprehend information within a text correctly. According to Lencher et al. (2008) “weak readers overrely on context and recognize words in context more easily than out of context” (p. 68). It can also be used to assess a child’s ability to read aloud, fluency rate and their ability to retell the information that was read. The test consists of a…

Reading Interest Survey The two students I interviewed for the interest reading survey were my two brothers Airian and Adrian. The two had very different results. I will analyze their results individually and then I will analyze them together as well as make suggestions for each of the two in topics I believe they would be interested in reading. Since the two were raised in different settings I will also bring in the concept of nature vs. nurture and how it can possibly affect ones interest in…

it was time for me to learn how to read, books were my enemy. I look at the words not knowing what they mean and not understanding what my teachers or my family are reading. I would cry with the frustration of my failing attempts wanting nothing more for my parents to read instead of me. I do not think it was my own fault that reading was a struggle, but I believe that as our country economically advances, our society pressures young children to be educated in a too fast pace that they are not…

Speed reading is traditionally looked upon highly and is seen as a great skill in the academic and professional community. There is a relationship between reading speed and retention when one holds the assumption that reading faster is better (McLaughlin, 1969; Smith, 1975). The capability of reading faster is possible but the quality of retaining the information read is variable (McLaughlin, 1969). The average person reads 200-250 words per minute (WPM) for upper intermediate grades and…

view of reading and literacy was that it was fundamentally about how to read text, which involved teaching children about phonics and phonemic awareness. That has changed over the semester because I now realize how reading and literacy instruction are much more than simply knowing how to read. Spelling, writing, and comprehension are also intertwined with reading and literacy instruction. All of these elements work together to make a child a better reader and understand what they are reading. I…

Therefore, it is important for teachers to know what happened in the reader's mind while reading, and help the reader to reflect on this reading experience.

Efferent reading, on the other hand, aims to obtain…

Meanwhile, according to (Grabe, 2009) the definition of reading leads into the process itself such as reading is an interactive process which means there is an interaction between reader and writer when reader actively construct the writer’s intention…
