My Most Assigned Reading
I HATE reading, especially assigned reading. Reading was never something I liked to do. I always tried my best to avoid reading unless necessary. When it came to standardize test I always scored lower on the reading portion. I don’t have many strengths when it comes to reading and because of that I will always dislike it.
I WAS always behind in reading ever since middle school. I never seemed to be reading on my grade level and that was so embarrassing so, I never really got help for it. I faked my way through courses, homework, and classwork. For test I made sure I remembered just the information I needed to pass. I got put in the right grade and no one ever noticed I was struggling. AS I stated before I don’t have many strengths and that’s

    JNT2 Task 1 Needs Analysis

    Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of what the writer is communicating and make the most of that information. That’s why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without them the reader cannot gather any information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life (Marshall).…

    ELL Student Evaluation Paper

    Based on the San Diego Quick Assessment, Jane appears to be below her grade level expectations. Her independent level results were between a pre-primer and a primer. Her instructional level demonstrated a primer/grade 1 due to 100% correct on the pre-primer, 9/10 correct on the primer, and 6/10 correct on the grade 1. She appears to have decoded using the beginning visual cues, rather than using more advanced strategies. For example, “thank” was read as “think.” The word “spring” was read as “surprising.” Furthermore, Jane’s responses on the Reading Interests Survey showed Jane enjoys reading, preferring to read rather than watching a video game or play computer games. Jane’s responses to open-ended questions needed to be reworded for clarification. Three out of seven responses did not answer the question. Her reading interests are limited and needed definitions for some genres. The reading experience section illustrated Jane was unclear about the expectations, as she needed several prompts to elicit an answer. She does reveal watching “a lot” of television when she arrives home from…

    Gen 195 Week 3 Essay Example

    I currently approach the weekly readings thinking there is so much to be read in a short amount of time, like I am overwhelmed. The reading seems like so much to comprehend in the short time I have to read. I do not read often and currently attending school, reading weekly for assignments, I find it difficult to concentrate. Also I find that I am not very interested in the subjects we have to read about which causes me to be easily distracted. I complete the reason only because it is required. I know my approach is not the best for completing required reading but I complete the reading.…

    Personal Narrative: Maximum Ride

    But I really fell behind in seventh grade when I was in Mr. Green’s class. Ms. Green was a strange teacher, she almost always ignored the girl students but gave the guys a little too much attention. Long story short, she crept out all the guys who had her and pissed off all the overachieving girls who asked a lot of questions and thrived off teachers' advice. We had SSR time every day, but the vibe in the room was always tense and a little awkward, which made it really hard to get wrapped up in a good story. We all ended up just skimming the pages and passing notes or doing other homework. Once I got out of the habit of reading I kept making excuses, saying I was “too busy” or “they're no books that look interesting to me.” If I really think about it, seventh grade wasn’t the only thing that broke my good habit of reading. Some fault lies with me for just being lazy and not setting aside time in the day for me to pick up a book and get lost in…

    My Literacy Journey

    As I write this, I have my four year old niece sitting next to me saying, “Wow, you have a lot of drawing on your page!” All I can do is laugh to myself and think that was once me, not knowing the meaning of each word and innocently intrigued by the simple presence of words on a paper. This interest would soon turn into the curiosity to read. Hoping to read as gracefully as my mother when she read bible stories before my twin sister and I would drift off to sleep, I was devastated to find out I didn’t read as well as the other children. In fact, I had to be pulled from my reading class to a remedial class with one on one interaction between the teacher and student. As disappointed as I was then, I’ll…

    Why Do High School Students Struggle With Reading?

    Of those students who struggle with reading is not accepted, or made fun of. High school is a very tough time for students in general, and then adds in a noticeable weakness, most students will never admit to that struggle. If they cannot own the struggle, or the weakness, then receiving help will always be in a push back manner. They will never be fully open to the help being given to them, nor will they be truly receptive of the progress that help can provide them. When students struggle with reading, it affects all other areas of their education and causes them to struggle or suffer in those areas as well.…

    The Play Emilie

    Also though it seems odd, those who can't easily get something at first, they work harder to attain their goals. When I was younger, I had trouble reading and had a lisp in me speak. Growing, I worked hard to read at the level of my friends and write at the level of my friends. So, I worked like crazy, I read everything I could find and go to private school for help. Over the years I got better, so much that last time I took the test I was above my age level in reading comprehension, sadly I am still below my age level in writing, but one of these days I will bridge that gap and bring my writing up to the right level if I work on it. Hopefully, I as a child was underestimated by others and I underestimate myself I used my ADHD, Dyslexic Tenacity and low tone in my hands as a reason for failing. Well, I can't use it anymore, like these remarkable geniuses who overcomes I can too. Maybe being underestimated is a good…
