Reading

During the Colloquium class, we watched a very interesting video about Dyslexia. Also, we went over the Observing the Classroom Practice where Chantell Berrett expressed her experiences. She had with her son, she noticed that her son reading level was lower than her daughter, she said that the same job she did with her daughter, she did with her son. She said that what she saw in her son, this is what we need to do with our students. As well, she said to be able to help them is to motive them…

get good grades to come up with 5 resolutions that I may or may not accomplish. They are: Get better grades Read more Eat less sweet/salty foods Make the swim team And get out more Now the one I picked is reading cause I should read more. My reasons of choosing this above all else is cause reading is “important’ and builds a good “foundation” for learning. It also “expands” your vocabulary. LAstly, if you don’t read now you’ll have “trouble” getting through…

considered by some to be a lacking of reading skills in spite of the persons intellectual ability or education level. There has been a pervasive amount of research done in the last 40 years on developmental dyslexia; thus, dyslexia, has been proven to be a neurobiological syndrome. A strong link has also been proven that the genes related to developmental dyslexia do transfer from mother and/or father to their children. The research has also shown us that reading is not the only symptom of…

agreed to participate in the interview. The first question I asked was to define critical literacy and explain why it is important for students to possess critical literacy skills. Ms. Davis stated that critical literacy is “being able to go beyond reading and analyzing a text.” It entails taking a critical view of the text and “breaking the text up into parts and interpreting its meaning from an array of perspectives.” Ms. Washington wasn’t quite sure of how to define critical literacy. She…

well, because they were able to make predictions before they heard the story, they were able to witness wacky things happening throughout the story, and then they were able to reexamine if their predictions were right or not. Using the main idea reading pocket chart was a great tool to use, because then they were able to see what some of them thought the main ideas were from the stories and other students to be able to partake in what they thought the supporting details were. I felt like it was…

certainly support active learning. My preschool classroom is set up in a manner that will assist me in promoting literacy effectively throughout each of the learning areas. Within each of the areas there are bookshelves that contain a variety of reading materials, such as read aloud, picture books, story books, recipe books, magazines, genres, and informational context that will capture the interest of the students ( Seefeldt, C., & Galper, A., 2001). Students should have access to interesting…

cover on, and the color of the illustrations fading every day, no longer the color they were. On page 5, I can still notice the cheesy, Cheetos fingerprint, even though my mother always told me to wash my hands after I finished eating, and before reading. Not only did I have memories with your book, I had journeys. Every time I listened to the book or as I mumbled, and stuttered, trying each word until I was old enough to fluently read this child’s book. Journeys flooding into my imagination as…

experiences that I 've been through. I want to expand my horizon by reading about a lot about various things, and sometimes I think that knowing so much about one thing and not so much about other things could be a negative thing. However, I think that what makes me unique especially living in Kansas City where the voice fashion is sort of absent, and since reading is an expression of learning more about a subject, or in the matter of reading a novel is traveling in imagination to another world…

or brother read it to me all the time because I hated reading it to myself. I would rather tell you a story or listen to yours but think twice before you give a girl a book and tell her she needs to read the whole thing by Monday. If you give a mouse a cookie he could ask for a glass of milk, not all mice will. If you give a girl a book she could spend the whole day in a hammock with the wind in the hair reading it, not all girls will. Reading isn't a natural born talent, isn't there a way we…
