    Creating and implementing effective lessons for a literacy learner who is struggling with reading and writing takes much effort and appropriate resources. Throughout the Literacy Development course, I have gained much insight and resources that have become valuable tools in addressing students’ literacy needs. Each week, I conducted lessons and activities that targeted the needs of many students, but my initial focus on was on one particular student. His individual reading level, spelling development, and writing abilities were analyzed and the recorded data was used to drive instruction. The student chosen for the literacy learner study was a second grade student who is a struggling reader and is served in Response to Intervention Tier 3 (Mesmer & Mesmer, 2008).…

    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.…

    Some exercises in these trainings will be directing student’s attention to rhyme. Recommendations to improve vocabulary will be actively and systematically teaching vocabulary to students (Pearson et al., 2007). Teach words, morphology, and word origins are an important component in any vocabulary learning program. It’s recommended that exposing students to all types of words is all a recommendation for improving reading comprehension. Reading informational books and chapter books that introduce complex and rich vocabulary increases vocabulary as well for children. Dividing reading activities into three categories; pre-reading, which allows students to collect and defining vocabulary words from text. Reading, allows teachers to guide student’s interaction with text and post-reading allows students to summarize what they have read(Babbit,…

    I help them to develop effective word-learning strategies such as how to use dictionaries and other reference aids, how to use information about word parts to figure out the meanings of words in texts, and how to use context clues to determine word meanings. They could learn that to know a word well means knowing what it means, how to pronounce it, and how its meaning changes in different contexts. Students were stimulated to construct sentences providing clear examples of word meaning in context. This assignment mainly addresses the Reading Competency and Instructional Delivery and Facilitation indicators since I did relate and integrate the subject matter with life experiences. I sequenced the lesson and concepts to ensure coherence and required prior knowledge. The class was delivered in an engaging and challenging way using higher-order questioning techniques, applying different instructional strategies and resources, including appropriate…

    This artifact introduces the strategy of repeated reading in the use of improving oral reading fluency for adolescents. This strategy was first advocated by Education Psychologist S. Jay Samuels in 1979. When he first used this approach, he practiced on children who were beginning readers and diagnosed learning disabled. Samuels would have a child reread a grade level text until fluency proficiency was achieved. This method seemed to show rapid growth in reading fluency which in turn promptly increased reading comprehension. Consequently, the repeated reading strategy soon became the chosen intervention amongst teachers nationwide for fluency deficiencies.…

    The only way to eliminate a reading problem is to compel the brain to remodel the network that is guiding the process inappropriately. The Read Right developmental reading program compels the brain to do this remodeling work, resulting in comfortable, natural reading and understanding of the author’s message. Brains are “plastic,” but they are resistant to remodeling existing networks. The tutoring environment must be precise to facilitate the remodeling work. Read Right consultants come to your campus and train members of your staff to be small group tutors, skilled in providing just the right environment for developmental reading.…
