Early Literacy Analysis
Literacy was not something that I grew up seeing at home. Both of my parents, neither read nor wrote, but, one thing that I can recall was that my mother would sing nursery rhymes in Spanish and would even teach me the hand gestures that went along with the song. For example las vocales ( the vowels), la Escuelita (the school) and so on. Even though both of my parents were not active readers, they always told me the importance of higher education.
I have both bad and good experiences in primary school. I was in pre-kinder that my mother became an active participant in my education and how important it was to become an active reader that she even bought the Disney encyclopedia. It was not until I was in first and second grade that I became

    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…

    This study was inspired by the literary elements in the book Prietita y la llorana. The book used to be passed down orally through generations, until it was published. It demonstrated how literacy was taught and passed on in their culture. Schools in South Texas believe their Mexican-American youth are not at the same literacy level as the rest of the children. However, the Family Institute for Early Literacy (FIELD) used this book to begin a study to see if these children are in fact literate when they begin school, they just aren't aligned with the current standards of teaching. Their goal was to discover the methods that these parents used to teach their children literacy.…

    Part of Rabel’s classroom literacy instruction was also focused on him writing either the days routine in the morning or after a lesson. I was able to observe several things about Rabel as a writer. I noticed that Rabel enjoys to wre, but once again has a hard time staying on task. Rabel is very intelligent and can write about almost anything. When they were learning how to write poems, I observed him create a poem about the day he went to the zoo. Rabel is a very interesting young boy that when is focused, he can complete any task assigned to him. I also noticed that his personality comes out in his writing. While Rabel was writing I noticed that he wasn’t scared to use words he didn’t know. His teacher encouraged her students to try their…

    In the reading, The Sponsors of Literacy by Deborah Brandt she talks about how literacy was received and withheld from people because of socio-economic classes. Brandt claims that there is a connection between literacy and economic development or as she refers to them as sponsors of literacy which can either help, sensor, or withhold all together the ability to be literate. Literacy provides an upward mobility or at least the means to move upward in social classes and without literacy there is no means to gain an edge. In her interviews of Raymond Branch (European American) and Dora Lopez (Mexican American) Brandt found that even though both were born in the same year and had moved to the same town when they were younger Branch was introduced…

    The Literacy Nariative that caught my interest was "Proficiency". I chose this Literacy Narriative simply because I believed in her, and maybe, just maybe our problem could have been similar In some ways. I believed I had a test anxiaty beyond me. I just couldn't get over the stress that test brough me; My hands sweat, they would shake, I was unable to think clearly, and it would make absolutley no sense to me because, I have always done well in my classes through and through. The thought of not passing the Fcat or any writing test at all frightened me because, I concider myself a well preformed student. Eventually I somehow pushed myself over that speed bump in my life, I tought myself to relex and to take my time, I tought myself to review…

    I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully, from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft, I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter, more like one lowercase “l” after another, to the next. One day I’d be able to spell the words in my mind, and until that day I’d practice my “cursive” one squiggly line at a time.…

    Early childhood literacy experiences can contribute heavily on a child’s early successes and difficulties once they reach formal schooling. Early literacy experiences can really put a kid in front and be more ready once they start school. Parents play an important part to this as they control a lot of a child’s early experiences with literacy. The culture of where kids grow up also can either benefit a kid’s literacy or it can put the kids behind other students. These experiences can be the differences of a kid passing his early English courses or failing them.…

    I learned how to read at a very early age of five. Not only did I know how to read in English but I also learned how to read in Spanish. For kindergarten I went to an imersion program which taught me both English and Spanis. My parents were very suprised I was able to read in both languages since I wasnt fluent at the time. I had no idea it was such ancawesome accomplishment until later on. I am really thankful for the teacher I had Señora Carmona. She was the one who really developed my reading skills and I am very thankful for tha. At five years old you dont know how smart you are until you look back amd you're like Wowwww! I was able to do that. For some people it is still hard to read in their first language let alone in another. One day Señora Carmona called my parents in for a parent teacher conference. At the time my parents were a little worried that I had gotten in trouble. When my parents went into class my Dad and Señora Carmona realized they went to high school together so it broke the ice a little. They spent a little time catching up and then she began to talk about me.she told them how amazed she was on how I was doing compared to the rest of the kids in the class. My parents were so proud of me. They couldnt believe I was reading better than both the American kids in English and the hispanic kids in Spanish. As parents they felt a sense of accomplishment. I look back and I really appreciate what I had learned back then because it has helped me out in so many ways. I will never forget Señora Carmona and if I saw her today I would thank her for all she had taught me.…

    During my early years of education, school was a bit more challenging for me than the average student. Consistently my performance appeared below expectations and I lacked the ability to comprehend information as quickly and efficiently as other students. Reciting the dreadful memories I experienced during my early childhood literacy development remain fluent this very moment. Classes were my least desirable event to experience everyday, and my attitude and mindset during those school hours did not enhance it. Being vocally active in the classroom was a challenge that I never willing conquered, I was not accustomed to speaking in front of other people, especially not my competitors. Often I would find myself standing within the perimeters…

The work that is collected up until the end of the school year can easily be reflected on to show the learner’s purposeful growth in his academics.…

    Growing up in a bilingual household has affected my literacy journey. It affected my Spanish writing because I focused more on English. This course has helped me look at English literacy beyond the point of it being another credit to simply cross off my list. A specific reading from this course that I was able to really retain and relate to was Victor Villanueva's excerpt from Bootstraps: From an Academic of Color. Here he brought up several points that made me think differently about literacy and how it can affect my life now or even after college. “One professor said my writing was too formulaic. One professor said it was to novel. Another wrote: ‘nonsense.’ “ (Villanueva 112) I really like this quote because relating it back to literacy and my college experience ahead of me, it makes me understand that there will be times…
