Reading Aloud Analysis
Am I the only person who hates reading aloud? In my 7th grade English teachers classroom it was cold, but I always sat in the desk by the window where I could feel the heat from the sun. The desk were beginning to fill up with my classmates and as always they were not in the mood to be up this early and have to read.
Class was starting my English teacher told us to get out our literature book and turn to a page. She announced we will be reading aloud as a class and everyone has to read. Right then I knew that I was going to figure out a plan to get out of reading out loud. I got a feeling in my stomach that made me feel just very uncomfortable. I hated reading aloud because it always made me feel like people was talking or would talk about

I thought to myself she felt like I was thinking I was slow too. Instead she told me “You are a very great reader you just need to take your time and pay attention to the words. You never know you could be skipping over important facts you need to know.” I explained to her that I felt like I read so and wanted to learn how to read a lot faster. My teacher ended up adding me speed reading class that helped me read a lot faster and pronounce word correctly. I was really excited that she added me into and I’m glad she didn’t tell me because I wouldn’t have agreed to join. Only reason why I say that is because they come and get you out of your English class to a different classroom to read the story. I thought the kids would talk about me like as if I can’t read and need someone to read to me but I came back to class very confident and ready to read aloud.
From this experience I learned that shouldn’t be afraid to read aloud because people make mistakes when reading even teachers. I also learned that we come to school to learn not to figure out who is the smartest or who knows everything. At the end of the day we all leave the school learning something new from any

    However, I did take a class last semester, and I was required to conduct a read aloud to my classmates. This was a great way to practice how to do a read aloud correctly, so I really benefited from this because I had already practiced the correct way to do a read aloud. In this class we learned stuff like how to properly hold the book, when it is appropriate to ask questions and how to effectively switch between eye contact with the kids and reading the book without messing up. These are all small things but they have a big impact when preforming a read aloud. During my read aloud with Tina Gwyn’s class I was able to do those things well, as well as the more obvious things like: volume, pitch and pace. I was a little worried about some of these things, but overall I think I ended up doing…

    I would always leave the class to go visit my speech teacher, and my peers had taken interest on why I needed help. One of the simple words I had trouble pronouncing was “the,” the t-h sound messed me up. Some students started teasing me, mocking me, because I couldn’t pronounce such a simple word. I never let these students get to me, I just thought I need to be smarter than them. From this moment on, I told myself I would try my best in school, for myself, not for my parents, my classmates, but for…

    Lower developed reading may make a child feel embarrassed when it comes to joining in with group reading, causing the child to feel uncomfortable and may cause low self esteem which will hinder the child's social development. It could even cause the child to avoid embarrassment in the form of playing up at reading time, preferring that his or her peers see them as not wanting to join in or simply in an effort to gain some control over his surroundings.…

    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,…

    This was very frustrating, for both myself and my teacher, because at the time I was in a school for early and rapid learners. My second grade teacher had tried to convince my parents to remove me from the school because I did not “belong” there, but I knew I did. After all I had passed the test, just as every other student, and was awarded acceptance into the school. To this day I am still very thankful that my parents did not remove me from the school, because it helped me grow into the person that I am now. Being in a very competitive environment, academically speaking was very…

    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…

    I thought if my math teacher could not teach me, who could? I did not want to go school, I was terrified of my teacher. Not only was she my math teacher, but Mrs.Taylor was also my english teacher. I have always wanted to go to school, but this teacher just made learning miserable. When it was getting a little more into the school year and my personality was coming out Mrs.Taylor just got more demanding. She wanted me to do extra work so I can practise. In my mind I thought ‘ how can I practise when I do not even know what I am supposed to do?’ I just even more discouraged. I always did my homework; too scared of getting yelled at for not even trying. Mrs. Taylor thought I was just lazy when I would skip numbers, but in reality I just didn’t know how to do them. You may be thinking “Why did you not speak up and defend yourself?” When I was 10 years old I was shy, quiet and a reserved person. I didn’t want to speak up if that lead to having attention being thrown at…

    How I Learned to Read

    Finally the day came and it was time for me to go to school. I was scared; I did not know where I was, and I did not know a single word in English. There was no way my mom would stick me in an English classroom. They moved me to a Spanish one; there I had a more clear idea of what I was learning. The teacher was a sweet, calm lady; she had patience with my wiggly and off place writing, to this day I have not figured out whether she understood it or not. Once I learned my ABC’s here came the small words of animals and things like for example “oso” which means bear in Spanish. Learning to read and write seamed so boring. I had to sit down and do homework which required my attention, but I preferred to draw and play. Learning was torture; I would read very slowly, even when I tried to read those small picture books for small kids, I was useless by that time.…
