Key Concepts From Reading Instruction Past And Present Perspectives

The up sides to learning environment. With the money that would be saved Schools could get better computers or more textbooks and just improve their learning

he most fundamental responsibility of schools is teaching students to read. Indeed, the future success of all students hinges upon their ability to become proficient readers. Recent scientific studies have allowed us to understand more than ever before how literacy develops, why some children have difficulty, and what constitutes best instructional practice. Scientists now estimate that fully 95 percent of all children can be taught to read. Yet, in spite of all our knowledge, statistics reveal an alarming prevalence of struggling and poor readers that is not limited to any one segment of society:

Reading is a means of language acquisition, of communication, and of sharing information which is essential in being a productive member of society. If and when a student missed an opportunity to learn the skills necessary for reading, it’s has a profound impact on their lives. As educators we realize that teaching all children to read requires that every child receive excellent reading instruction. We are also aware that children, who are struggling with reading must receive

We repeat all this for 12 years. There are many advantages and disadvantages for the traditional school system. To start, I would highlight the disadvantages of the public school system: I asked a student who has just finished high school in one

Limited access to books seems to be a common factor of illiterate individuals. Many children of this country lack the opportunity to have a book in their own possession. Literature needs to be more accessible to our youth because without books our minds will not tolerate expansion. There are many organizations out there trying to spread books to low income children. Books on Wheels is an organization that focuses on helping children in poverty so they are able to expand

It also helps students to gain abundant knowledge for a college or university and prepare them for a future life. In the present tense, the system allows students to learn at home the same material as in schools. Many students decide to switch to be home or cyber schooled because they can sleep longer, and there would not be negative impacts on them from the school system. My sister Anhelina, goes to Neshaminy High School she is currently a ninth grade student. Every morning she wakes up at 5:45 AM to get ready for school. When it is still dark and cold outside she walks to her bus stop that is a block away. It is very hard for her to wake up that early and right now she thinks that she is not getting enough attention from her teachers. She also says that it is very boring in most of her classes, so she is thinking to switch to cyber school. What I think about this situation that my sister is going through is that it would be better for her to be cyber-schooled. Some of our friends are cyber schooled, and they say that it is better than public schools. They do not have to wake up that early and go to school every day. Also, they have more time for themselves and they are more positive students who are not annoyed with school. When you are being cyber schooled you gain more knowledge and tend to do more work than you would do in a 45 minutes class in public

There are many pros to banning social promotion. The first one being that it will allow a child to truly get a grasp for the material they may be learning in the class. Another pro of banning social promotion is that if the child does need to be held back an extra year it may help them when it come to maturity. Also banning social promotion will help show children at a young age that some things will not be handed to them but instead they must be earned. In order to move on to the next grade they must not only learn the material but they must obtain the material as well. Another pro of banning social promotion is that this way it will give a student no matter what age to have an incentive to work hard in class, to make sure they are not separated from their friends.

Summary: This chapter explains how to help a student who is struggling to read. The book defines what a struggling reader is by saying “the student may have difficulty with oral language, phonological/phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, motivation, or some other factor that prevent adequate yearly progress.” The author explains what used to be used to help struggling reader was remediation. Remediation was the process of correcting certain problems. The teacher would have to wait until the student showed signs of a problem and then would have to figure out how to correct it from there.

There are two consequences that this could cause. One result is that when students take art classes, they would like to work only in the class and not want to take other courses because arts is a natural subject not like math and science. The second consequence is that might not want to finish their education because they would like to be a musician, artist, or a photographer. Overall, school districts adding the arts in schools has some

The district also identified some cons: Parents are accustomed to a K-6 model and may resist change. There would be significant impact on school facilities, finances, and staffing.

For a child who is just starting to learn to read, they need sufficient practice in reading a variety of different books to achieve fluency. Reading can be complex and has many different aspects (Burns,1999). It is suggested that children who have problems reading and writing at a young age will find it hard to catch up as they get older and will not reach their full potential as adults, many will withdraw from school or society and some becoming involved with crime (MacBlain,2014). 40 percent of children find learning to read a challenge but with early help, most reading problems can be prevented (Reading Rockets, n.d.).

Many students around the United States have reading difficulties, which can be due to a variety of reason such as: low socioeconomic status, family history of learning disabilities, a neurological disorder, limited exposure, etc. Reading difficulties can lead to further problems with education and learning, therefore the struggles should be addressed and intervention techniques should be implemented promptly. The interventions need to be individualized for the student based on their needs in order to improve the student’s reading to the best of their abilities.

Also class sizes would increase drastically and students would get less individualized attention from teachers resulting in possible failing learning abilities and lower test scores. Parents would have to consider placing students in charter or private schools, homeschooling or even a different school district in order to get the proper education that is needed.

The only downside is that everyone cannot afford to go to school. Even though there is free education for the public schools. Private schools are often better. My dad worked for the Electoral commission of Nigeria and my mom was a math teacher in a high school so they were able to send me to a really good school. Unfortunately for one of my colleagues, he had to drop out of middle school because he could not afford the tuition and he had to hawk bread so that his parents can pay the rent. He was a very brilliant student but unfortunately could not get an education. Till this day, I am sad he did not complete his education. He would always talk about how he wanted to be a doctor and I think he had the potential to be one. Who knows if he could have been the one to find a cure for cancer? There are other unfortunate students like him who cannot complete school for various reasons. The education system is good but not everyone is given a chance to learn. We also were not allowed to speak our local languages in school and the teachers referred to them as vernaculars. I have been afraid of teachers my whole life because I was conditioned to fear them. Teachers in school for any mistake I made often beat me flogged me and that fear has been instilled in me.

In the article of Reading Skills, by Charles A.Perfetti, focus on the reading disorders occurs in human being, what is the reason behind them, how some candidate got higher scores and how some got lower scores in their orally assessment. By a analysis he got a Garden variety of reading disorders occurs in those lower skill candidate. Dyslexia, general intellectual problem & some disabilities he got to know by analysis. Dyslexia is a selective damages in direct route of neurons, those people having this disorders its not meant that they are not good enough in all the learning activities, with the help of proper treatment they became a good readers & writers. Process of reading is totally dependent on reader understanding of written language, how the reader encoded in their words ones again during the reading period.
