My Interest In Reading Intervention
My interest in reading intervention began early in my career when I was trained as a Reading Recovery teacher for FWISD. This program planted the seed that grew into a keen understanding that students were reading as well as they knew how to, that they would not become more proficient readers accidently, but rather through intentional, systematic teaching. Thus my dedication for teaching students to read, how to read better, and how to better understand what they have read to become more confident and capable readers.

That seed was further nourished as I was introduced to dyslexia programming through a colleague who was pursuing her CALT certification with Scottish Rite. Our co-teaching, and the conversations we had about our experience

    Over the course of the semester, I was able to work with a fifth grade student, Luke, on his reading. Luke is currently reading at an end of first grade level. At the beginning of the semester, when I first began working with Luke, he was reading at an early first grade level. He has shown much improvement over the three cycles that I worked with him on. Not only did he improve with his reading, but also I saw his confidence increase after each cycle.…

    My example for the Reading Literacy objective is reading the novel, Invisible Man. Throughout the journey of reading Invisible Man we’ve done pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities and applied strategies from all three activities to other assignments. The second bullet of the reading literacy objective states “To apply pre-reading, during reading, and post-reading strategies to all reading assignments, including determining purpose and pre-reading vocabulary.” Before reading Invisible Man we read a multitude of different works of literature to better understand the time period in which the book had taken place. We also took notes during our reading and discussed our findings with the class as a whole. After reading, we completed…

    Kimberly is a sweet and hardworking student. She is very enthusiastic about reading and love fairytale books. Kimberly struggles with reading from the beginning of the year. The area of phonics specifically had been the hardest part of the reading process for her. The Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI) was administered on April 18th and helped as a diagnostic tool to make proper decisions and develop further an intervention plan for the student. She was struggling with the word list form the QRI assessment. She identified 12 words and scored 60 percent of a 100%. It was difficult for her to focus because her attention span is very short. Some words she was unfamiliar with or difficult to decode. It was easy to see the frustration when we…

    Educating and guiding students to read and become fluent readers is a life changing experience for the students. Increasing literacy skills in students prepares them for academic and professional careers. Educators must reflect on their own teaching practices and implementation of intervention strategies to meet the needs of all children while taking into account of their individual reading readiness: emergent, beginner, and transitional. As educators are implementing strategies and teaching practices, they are creating a literate environment that is conducive to all readers.…

    I had always thought of myself as good with kids, so I decided to try participate in Tuesday Night Tutoring, a program hosted by my school aimed at helping children to read. I naively believed that I could give them a few tips I used when I first learned to read, and at the same time help them to absorb some information from the practice readings, but reality fell very far short of my hopes. I struggled both to convince the children that they were mispronouncing several words and that my pronunciations were any better, and my efforts to explain the meaning of various words only necessitated additional definitions. If they believed me, the children would usually forget everything within a week. I continued trying for almost twenty hours of reading tutoring,…

    During adolescence, I began reading and writing through a fundamental learning program called, "Hooked on Phonics." This program consisted of long hours spent reading short novels and writing elementary phrases which were commonly taught in the second and third grade. With the motto, "Improve your child's reading and writing skills in just four weeks!" I was bound to become the next Mark Twain. The method of this course specialized in the improvements of word acquisition rates as well as reading speed; however, it lacked in the area of teaching comprehension. At a young age, I was instilled with the dire need to be highly educated and although I was unable to experience a fun and adventurous childhood like many other children, I am grateful for being raised with a greater knowledge and wisdom than that ingrained in many.…

    Olsen. My reading level slowly got better and better. By third grade I was still pulled out of the classroom but instead of just being Mrs. Olsen and me, there were also other kids that struggled with reading too. In the beginning of fourth grade, I was tested to see if I would go back into reading recovery again. I passed the test with reading levels above my grade so I graduated from reading recovery. Mrs. Olsen changed my life because now I love to read and before reading used to make me hate having to go to school. I never thought anyone would be able to make that big of an impact on my life but she did. That made me want to become a teacher and make a difference in someone life like she made in mine. A problem today is that there are tons of students that don’t have the extra help or teachers that are willing to do everything in their power to make that difference for the student. I would like to help solve this problem by becoming a teacher and give my students everything I can to help them and hopefully make a different like Mrs. Olsen made. Not being able to read ended up teaching me to never give up, things take time, and the best way to have a problem solved is to find someone that is willing to help make a difference and stick with it. I found a problem in my life and now I am ready to make a difference and solve that…

    Major Assignment 1 Rough Draft My literacy development has developed a lot over time and one of the reasons that it has developed is my grandma, she basically taught me everything that I know. I was always with my grandma she was kind of tough when it comes to education and learning, but I was never really a school loving kid I guess you can say I hated it. My grandma was the smartest person in the world to me she would always let me know when my grammar was wrong or when I didn't know to pronounce a word she helped. My grandma wasn't a strict person at all she just wanted all her grandkids to have good posture and great grammar so no one could ever say that we don't know how to speak or talk. Throughout Vollowe's article she repeatedly…

    Reading: something that has always played an imperative role in my life, but throughout the years has been significantly irregular. From a young age I was taught to be deeply involved in my reading and to learn and grow from what I read. There have been some specific memories that I hold on to about the noteable things that have established me as a reader. Reading deeply and getting very involved into my reading is a quality that I am lucky to have and that I do not think many people possess.…
