a daily basis , reading strategies, and writing experiences in preprimary and primary classrooms according to Pearson’s Custom on page 203. This way of teaching literacy has proven to be an effective way of creating a balanced literacy program.

meaningful to his understanding of the text as well as the subject as a whole. Keeping in mind the significance of respecting students’ responses, this theory undeniably empowers students. Also, the reader is allowed to recreate the text in each reading, accepting multiple literary interpretations. Here, Anderson further sheds light on the active role played by the reader to make meaning of the text in hand. However, its applicability is bound to be questioned in the Singaporean Secondary…

words. A child’s knowledge of literacy, for example reading and writing is called emergent literacy. Emergent literacy skills can include; understanding stories, phonic knowledge, increasing vocabulary and increasing knowledge of letters and words.

let me experience the pleasure to be found in those two areas. Based on my conversations with my mother and my memory of that chance meeting, I would have to guess that Mrs. Pfeiffer was presented a child who had very little exposure to writing or reading, little to no knowledge of the alphabet, phonological awareness, or concepts of print. Whatever her strategies were, she found a way to get through to me and send me into second grade well prepared. From that point on, my grades were always As…

Repetition is also very important when beginning Daily 5. It is important to have short practice sessions and then come back together and talk about how it went. This will help the students to nail down a few places that are best for them when it comes to reading independently.

This gets students acquainted with the classroom library and…

books I have read for my various English classes, I read a lot of comic books. My Mom actually gives me a hard time about the fact that I do not read novels as much anymore, as she does not consider the comics I read “true” reading material. This has not stopped me from reading and collecting over a thousand issues of various comic book series. Overall my primary source of comic book material is Spider-Man (of which I have read over 600 issues), but I have a lot of Batman and Superman as well.…

I always turned on the captions for the shows I watched, so I could match what was being said with the captions being shown. Shortly after preschool started, I was reading books during class.

Section A: Introduction Over the past years, I have looked for ways to help students achieve literacy goals in order for them to succeed in second grade and on. Mertler (2014) helped me guide my action research by collecting the information using the guide questions he provided. My dilemma since I started working as a teacher over seven years was helping struggling readers and writers master their syllables. According to the state standards, students are expected to know the letters and its…
