Veersyrus Case Study
As a result of his disability, Versyrus struggles with reading in the areas of phonological awareness, phonics and comprehension. He has difficulty with identifying rhyme, blending and segmenting syllables. He also struggles with identifying story elements and putting his ideas into words. Task adaptations, one-on-one support, small group instructions (3-5 students), repeated instructions and additional time (100% more) will all be beneficial.

    Case Study: The Venona

    • 1116 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In February of 1943, the United States Army’s Signal Intelligence Service (SIS) launched a secret program with efforts to gather and decrypt, and later exploit, Soviet diplomatic communications. It took nearly two years before American cryptologists were able to break the KGB encryption. The information that was gained – in more than 2,000 messages – provided “insight into Soviet intentions and treasonous activities of government employees” (“VENONA”). The Venona files are most famous for exposing Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, giving indisputable evidence of their association with the American Communist Party and involvement with the Soviet spy ring ("VENONA"). But what exactly made Venona possible? Who was involved? What did the program find?…

    The Veldt

    • 580 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the ultramodern interpretation of The Veldt, by Ray Bradbury, science fiction portrays a very genuine interpretation of the direction humanity is going in with relation to the complexities of technology. The short story begins in a futuristic setting in which a smart home takes care of the needs of a family until they become dependent upon it. Within this home, a very large dimensional nursery was built for the children which has a three dimensional capability to portray any mental combination they think of by reading thought waves through advanced mechanical technology. The mother and father notice that a repetitive scenery within the nursery of an African veldt land has a more sinister rationale imposed upon it by the children that evidently leads to their demise.…

    The skill that I think Rabel could benefit from learning is rhyming. I could tell that Rabel had never been taught this before because he had a very confused face, which let me know this was the first time he was seeing this. I know that his teacher does nursery rhymes with the students, but from what I have noticed she only does them in Spanish. However, I don’t believe that she has devoted any time to teaching students about rhyme explicitly. Another thing that Rabel did, which allowed me to support my prediction was that he kept on saying words that did not have the same ending of the words in the assessment. One example of this was when he the word was dog and he said “mom.” I now think that not only had he never seen this before, but that he was focusing on the middle sound instead of the ending sound. As I continued this assessment I was also able to learn more about Rabel’s literacy strengths. In the following assessment Rabel quickly caught on and was able to match the beginning sound to the word. I was very impressed by the way he was able to blend sounds together. For Ms. Tatis blending is key to getting kindergarteners to learn how to read. I could tell that this was one of the assessments that he enjoyed the most because at one point he was blurting out the answers without me even finishing demonstrating the…

    Essay On The Veldt

    • 435 Words
    • 2 Pages

    After reading the story of “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, I felt shocked. The beginning was all innocent. I thought it would be about how their parents took care of babies in their own nurseries; but after a few paragraphs, I realized that this story was a tragedy. How could chldren even think of killing their own parents? After all, the fact that their parents gave birth to them is the whole reason that they are able to think, act, feel, and talk! When I first read about the lions and how they were feeding, I kind of thought that something really tragic was about to happen. I had no clue, however, that it would include murdering, much less children killing their own parents! The parents have indeed been relying on the machines and…

    the veldt

    • 516 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The short story ‘’the Veldt’’ is a very thought provoking masterpiece that makes readers reconsider their use of technology. Since the very beginning of the story, Lydia seems unsatisfied with her life in the ‘’Happylife Home'’, even if all she might need is found in it. She started feeling unnecessary as the house left her nothing to do as a mother and wife. This obviously tells the reader that if social duties are performed by machines, humans will feel unnecessary and life will sound boring. The second lesson that can be drawn from this short story is the fact that machines cannot parent children without disastrous consequences. This was illustrated in the obvious lack of communication between George and Lydia from one side and their two kids from the other. Therefore, the over use of technology destroys family and human relationships. When George and Lydia decided to leave the house, their kids strongly refused as they were greatly attached to the nursery. As a result, they sacrificed their parents in order to keep living in the house. They felt no regret or guilt when their parents died, which means they are emotionless, exactly like machines. A lesson can be easily drawn here; human interaction with machines makes Man lose his humanity. To sum up, ‘’the Veldt’' is an excellent illustration of the negative side of technology and machines.…

    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,…

    Learning to Read Methods

    Learning to read is one of the most essential skills a child will master. Reading is the foundation of a child's educational future. The success of one's career and education is dependent upon their reading ability. Without the ability a read, a person cannot enjoy all this world has to offer, such as reading about world history, driving a car, reading a letter from a friend, or learning a new language. Reading unlocks doors that would otherwise be locked forever. In recent years there has been a great deal of debate on the methods used to teach our children how to read; parents and teachers need to determine whether the whole language, phonics or a combination of both methods is the most adequate approach for teaching their children to read.…

    Dyslexia In Classroom

    • 671 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Children with learning difficulties may find certain areas of the curriculum difficult, whereas they may excel at others. Dyslexia can be observed by difficulty in learning to read despite adequate intelligence and sociocultural opportunity (Snowling, 2000). Some things in which indicate that a pupil may have dyslexia include; poor standard of written work, poor reading skills, and bizarre spelling. (Training and Development Agency for Schools, 2008). To help tackle dyslexia and provide an inclusive environment for all members of the school the teacher can educate pupils on dyslexia and provide examples of famous personalities that have it. Thus, helping them to understand that just because they have dyslexia they can still achieve their aspirations. As well as never asking someone with dyslexia to read aloud, due to their poor reading skills they may have little confidence in reading aloud and this may lead to bullying within the school. Therefore, if they are never asked to read aloud they will never face a knockback in their confidence. Another way to aid dyslexic pupils is to pair them with a reading buddy or a scribe, as this helps them with recording ideas in writing. Another learning difficulty that teachers may need to accommodate for is dyspraxia, this includes difficulties in organising and carrying out a sequence of movements, pupils may have poor spatial awareness and poor…
