    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.…

    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.…

    The Rose Review (2006) expresses that necessary changes and recommendations are required for the searchlights model. Rose (2006) states that the searchlights model pays “insufficient attention to the critical skills of word recognition which must first be secured by beginner readers.” (Rose, 2006, p.116) The Rose Review emphasises that the SRV model incorporates a more systematic and realistic approach towards literacy learning with the National framework. The SVR promotes high quality phonics teaching and careful assessment which “identifies incipient reading difficulties and enables quick support, minimising risk of children falling behind.” (Rose, 2006, p.5)…

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…

    Throughout my childhood, the idea of having a college education was greatly stressed. As a result, it was my duty as the next generational child, to excel in my studies and achieve a life of prosperity and success. Learning became the basic foundation of my growth. Therefore, my youth was overtaken by many hours spent reading and writing what was known to be correct "Standard" English. I first found this to be a great shortcoming, but as I grew older, I began to realize the many rewards acquired by having the ability to be literate.…

    The primary spelling inventory informed me of the word knowledge my students bring to their reading and writing. The results from the primary spelling inventory informed me of the spelling patterns my students struggled with the most and the area in which they needed the most support. The informal reading inventory helped me determine the reading instructional needs of my students. I used the results of this assessment in order to choose the accurate guided reading level books that they would read during free reading. The retelling provided me with information regarding my students’ comprehension level. Providing my students with puppets created a more engaging way for them to retell the story to me. Using puppets also helped them think of the order in which the events happened in by thinking back to the print and the illustrations. This retelling helped me guide instruction by knowing the strengths and weaknesses of my students when talking about the story elements of our focus book. The running record helped me determine my students’ highest instructional level and the strengths and weaknesses in…
