Professor Warlita Sarabia-Mina

“Kimberly Sean Renegado”
I am just a simple girl,
Who loves to play basketball,
Who loves to play guitar,
And sing my favourite songs.
Lovable, courteous, and responsible for all the tasks that been given.
Hates the persons who don’t know me,
And make me feel that I am nothing.
But one thing for sure,
I cherish the persons who make me feel important.

“We read to know that we are not alone.” * William Nicholson

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” * Oscar Wilde

    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).…

    In order for a child to excel in school they need to be well versed in reading therefore; I believe that it is vital for all children to learn to read. Not only should reading be a fun and enjoyable experience but something that influences the child to succeed in all subject areas. Reading is an integral part of life that needs to be mastered. A child can master the basics of reading in the early years and should be learned at that time due to the aggravation and frustration of learning those skills later on, as he/she gets older. Although there are many children and adults alike that hate to read it is our job to spark an interest in these children so they will find reading enjoyable. All of the aspects of reading should be equal and balanced in order for the child to learn. Although I loved reading when I was younger, I still had to ingrain this behavior into my own children so they could see reading could be enjoyable and that it was an everyday part of life.…
