    JNT2 Task 1 Needs Analysis

    Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of what the writer is communicating and make the most of that information. That’s why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without them the reader cannot gather any information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life (Marshall).…

    Phonological Awareness In Spoken Language

    All reading instruction should serve the purpose of increasing comprehension (Lane, 2014). The mental process of comprehension begins before a child starts to read and continues throughout the entire reading process. The role of the educator in teaching comprehension is to model, share, guide and apply strategies whilst gradually releasing the responsibility onto the child. This begins with the educator demonstrating and explaining strategies, then scaffolding and encouraging the child to participate, practice and apply the strategies across all curriculum areas (PTSD, n.d.). According to (Department of Education WA, 2014) comprehension strategies are explicitly taught to emergent readers to develop their understanding of texts. Examples of these strategies are previewing and summarising. Previewing encourages children to make predictions about the text; it can also pique their interest. Children taught to summarise, can learn to determine the essential ideas within the text, intern furthering their comprehension skills (Department of Education WA,…

    Case Study Research Report

    The purpose of this study is to find ways to help a child improve their reading test scores. How is it that a child who reads two grades above their level cannot perform well when it comes to taking state assessments? Is it the teacher or is the child playing around when it comes to taking tests? Maybe the child can read really well but does not comprehend what they read and they get nervous during the test, which would also cause them to score low. This child was chosen because he reads at least two to three levels above his grade, but on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test he scored below what he was expected to score. I noticed that he had the most trouble in the area of Reading Application. This area consists of main idea, identifying the author’s purpose, making inferences, cause and effect, and compare and contrast. Tutoring sessions will be used to work with each of the specific parts of reading application to see if the student can improve his test scores. This child seems to be exhibiting from some sort of problem in the area of reading, and being the successful educator, this research will help to find a solution to this problem.…

    Kaboneye's Learning Log

    The very first day that I assessed Kaboneye’s reading comprehension level, I brought in three different levels of running records. I let her look them over and read the one that she felt most comfortable with. Kaboneye was able to read all of the words with considerable ease, but when I asked her what she had just read about—I would get this blank stare. At that point, I realized that it might be more beneficial for Kaboneye to be reading books that illustrate what is happening in the text.…

    Does Literacy Demands Place On Students In Today's Classrooms?

    Students in today’s classroom are expected read and comprehend on a higher level than before. Because the CCSS focused in on preparing students for college and careers, the idea is that we should be teaching students how to read and process not only fiction text, but also a very large variety of informational text as well. The reading demands are extremely strenuous in high school and college, so students in both elementary and middle school need to be prepared for this much earlier. There is also a great demand for students to be literate in subject areas such as science, math, and social studies. It is essential that they are able to read across the curriculum and…

    Quantitative Article Critique

    Across all students in all schools, the reading comprehension results demonstrated a trend that the reading perception difference widened as the GLE score and the grade levels increased. For example, in the Grade 3 classes approximately 37% had a GLE reading comprehension range of 5 or more grade levels while in Grade 4 at 67% and Grade 5 at 65% (Firmender, 2013, p. 8). In addition, the researchers also evaluated the variance of reading comprehension across all the classrooms within schools with varying results. To enumerate, the average range within Grade 3 for all classes was 4.4 grade levels, Grade 4 with an average of 6.3 grade levels, and Grade 5 with an average of 6.4 grade…

    Literacy and Higher Order Reading Skills

    Before we continue, at this point it is important to define the term higher order reading skills. While many children can read individual words or indeed a string of words to form sentences they may not necessarily understand what it is they are reading about. Even a child who is a fluent reader may have difficulty in comprehending a text. “Fluency is important because it is closely related to comprehension” (www.ibe.unesco.org, 2008). This author continues by saying, “comprehension is the process of deriving meaning from connected text it involves word knowledge as well as thinking and reasoning.” Higher order reading skills help to develop a child’s ability to comprehend a text.…

    English Language Learners: A Conceptual Analysis

    This chapter was an overview of the whole book. It discussed the reading deficit our country is going through but also how the focus on learning to read has never been greater and why it isn’t working. This chapter also discussed which parts of the brain help to learners to read and the different approaches to reading instruction. The five essential components mentioned were as follows: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The chapter went on to discuss different types of reading assessments (screening, progress monitoring, diagnostic, outcome, comprehensive assessment plan, and curriculum-based measurement). Further mentioned was the “downward spiral of reading failure,” motivation (or lack thereof), and the “fourth-grade slump.” Finally, the chapter ended with a discussion of how and why teachers need to differentiate their instructional techniques.…

    Short Term Memory

    Comprehension helps students understanding what they are reading. “Short term memory helps automatic decoding which is necessary for readers to comprehend and understand what they are reading” (Pardo, 2004, p.273). Pardo (2004) states that “Teachers help students get to this level of automatic decoding by providing instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics at all grade levels” (p. 273). When students spend to much time focusing on sounding out words they have less energy to think about meaning (Pardo, 2004). Students in lower grades will work on phonemic awareness and phonics but older students will practice automatic decoding through spelling vocabulary and high word frequency (Pardo, 2004).…
