TEACHING PHILOSOPHY “There are no dull teachers, dull textbooks, dull films, but no dull subjects”. Understanding and love is the foundation of a good relationship between the teacher and the student. Teaching is like reading it involves understanding. Teachers open doors, you enter by yourself.

THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Introduction

Reading problems develop because of one or more factors within the child or in the environment, or both, prevent the learner from reaching its learning capacity. Reading difficulties can be corrected through proper diagnosis and remedial instruction. Nothing is accomplished by blaming the difficulty on low level intelligence, lack of interest, laziness, or at home. Moreover, the goal of reading is to extract meaning from text, and this depends upon both

    The use of formal and informal reading assessments provide important data that allow educators to identify at risk students (Tompkins, 2010). The data collected from the assessments address any factors that may prohibit the development of students’ reading and writing skills. In addition to the assessments, the more an educator can learn about students’ backgrounds and their past reading, language development, and writing experiences the more instructional strategies can be designed to specifically meet the needs of diverse learners in the classroom.…

    Diagnostic Pattern: Explain How To Determine Reading Potential

    There is no single correct method for teaching a student how to read. A teacher must try all methods until they find what works best for that child. Throughout this time, a teacher must use a diagnostic pattern to prevent difficulties in learning to read as well as how to improve a student’s reading so that they can reach their potential for reading.…

    Wolf, M. (2007). Proust and the Squid

    In Proust and the Squid, Maryanne Wolf comprehensively discusses the history of reading, the process of learning to read, and difficulties that can exist within the reading brain. By citing a great deal of current brain research and drawing from her own experience as a professor and parent, Wolf makes a powerful case for the biological basis of reading difficulty and disability. In doing so, she may help lead the way into a new educational era in which students with reading difficulties are acknowledged for their strengths, not weaknesses, and reading disabilities are seen as learning differences rather than academic flaws.…

    Spelling Assessment and Rti

    Accurate, automatic recognition of printed words drives the reading process (Morris, 2008). Spelling assessments play a vital role in this process and enhances the development of reading. These assessments also serve as an important tool when assessing the reading ability of students. When attempting to recognize any challenges students may face, spelling assessments are very useful. Dr. Bear goes into detail about spelling assessments and how they provide valuable insights about the reading development of students and goes into detail about the synchrony of literacy development. Dr. Brown also talks about primary and secondary reading difficulties along with the importance of teaching students where they are and at their actual instructional level. As students are assessed on their ability to spell, there are different levels to consider as they complete certain assessments. The levels include independent, instructional and frustration, which help in recognizing how well the students read and at what level the student struggles the most when spelling. Tompkins (2010) states that the choices students make as they spell words are important indicators of their knowledge of both phonics and spelling. With the use of spelling assessments and being able to identify the errors students make help with recognizing student development and making modifications in curriculum to get the students the assistance they need and move them to the correct reading level.…

    At Risk Readers

    Did you know that learning to read is a challenge for almost 40 percent of kids? There are only just a few students who do not have some type of short coming when it comes to reading. Looking at National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores only one third of students read at the proficient or advanced levels. One third read at a basic level and the last one third are reading below that basic level. (1)…

This test evaluates their reading in a number of skill areas and allows me to chart growth over the course of the school year. At the end of the year, I share results with their next reading teacher.
