Principal 13 As An Educator 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

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

Introduction: Ways of Reading can be difficult to understand at times, but if you break it down it becomes easier to understand. Some of the quotes written by David Bartholomae and Anthony Petrosky can be used to look at the greater picture and do not just apply to reading and writing. Three quotes really stuck out to me while I was reading the introduction of this book. It was not just because they were great advice on reading and writing, but because they can also be applied to everyday life or certain situations in life. There are lessons to be learned in this introduction such as challenging others and students, understanding that there are different interpretations of things, and finding the meaning as you go along.

In today's society a plethora of information is immediately available at the touch of a button, and long gone are the days of careful hours spent scouring through a library for information. In "How to Read a Book" author Mortimer Adler points out that this ease of access to information has turned the masses into inattentive readers. In the first chapter, "The Activity and Art of Reading" Adler distinguishes between different types of reading such as active vs. inactive reading and goals that should be associated with reading such as reading for information and reading for understanding. In the latter chapter he goes on to point out how to be a successful and demanding reader through critical reading and asking oneself questions about the text.

Evidently, we all have a moral — and indeed legal — duty to help our students become proficient readers and writers. This, of course, is easier said than done.

The transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” can be obtained only if the reading teachers acknowledge “the importance of background and domain-specific knowledge as the essence of reading – and of a good education.” I think this fully solves the main issue which is literacy. From the word itself “literacy,” a reader must be literate enough in constructing meanings of a context and being one must happen long before a child enters intermediate school. Thus, it underpins every domain like history, literature, art, music, geography, science, as well as mathematics.

Reading and writing are reciprocal processes. Instruction in one supports development in the other. Emergent readers should be reading in the genre in which they are expected to write. Comprehension strategies can be developed using the gradual release of responsibility model. It includes explicit instruction, demonstrating and modelling of the strategy by the teacher, and collaborative and extensive guided practice where teacher facilitates an scaffolds learner’s learning to be an independent reader and

Reading processes, just like daily rituals, vary from person to person. Each unique task included in the process makes reading much more fulfilling, or in some cases significantly more stressful. After I get over my own stubborn way of thinking of “why must this teacher torture us and make us read,” I begin my process of reading. My process consist of rigorous context research of the text before jumping in, strenuous yet focused reading of the text, and a rough cool down when the text comes to an end.

The tragedy of my experience in elementary school is that the reading program I participated in set out to make me and my peers active readers, but distracted us too much with material gain to teach us the skills it intended to impart. Because of this, it took me a long time to understand that reading is an exchange, and that how I read each novel affects me much more deeply than the amount I have

This research paper is aimed at highlighting certain text features and methods of reading comprehension. It is based on qualitative research carried out through various scholarly articles and educational reports. A brief overview is presented to highlight recent research on the topic and presents various factors, such as level of interest and their effect on comprehension in reading. The relationship between

Easterbrooks, Lederberg, Antia, Kushalnagar, & Connor (2015) investigate the “evidence that the ability to read has important implications for positive academic outcomes in learners is incontrovertible” (pg. 1). Puranik, Otaiba, Sidler, & Greulich (2014) examines “being literate includes the ability to read and to write and both are important to survive successfully in today’s world” (pg. 2). This brochure exhibited great description and connection to generating effective reading comprehension in our students.

The author explores why students struggle through reading? What are the challenges educators faces to meet the needs of all students while having a diverse classroom of learners? What causes some students to struggle with reading and what instruction practices can be use that are effective and successful? All teachers of all grade levels should promote literacy development. Teachers need to make readers “21st Century Readers” meaning students should be taught literacy skills to navigate in the classroom as well in the future. The author referred to the struggling reader as the “delayed reader.” As stated by author struggling readers attempt to make effort to read whereas delayed readers postpone learning to read. There are strategies mentioned

The primary instructional goal of this endeavor involves leading students through the process of learning to read and reading to learn. Our goal is to ensure that all students are provided an individualized program of reading instruction using the pedagogical process inherent in the Reader’s Workshop program developed by Teacher’s College. The Reader’s Workshop pedagogical approach focuses on pinpointing

Reading is a basic life skill. Undeniably, it is a vital receptive, interactive, and survival mechanism to get through life. It goes along in one’s the day to day routine, from doing the simplest household chores to the more complex following instructions in the world of work. One must read to understand what he does; likewise, he needs to understand what he reads to comprehend reality. Inarguably, reading is one of the most important contrivances in life.

In this information–driven age, preparing students to read a variety of texts with complete understanding should likely be one of our educational system’s highest priorities. Understanding is more than just the ability to produce information on demand (knowledge) or the ability to perform learned routines (skills). “Understanding is the ability to think and act flexibly with what one knows.” (Active Learning Practice for Schools, n. d.) A review of the literature in the area of reading comprehension of elementary-age students shows two principle areas of focus. There is a body of literature that examines the development of proficient vs. struggling comprehenders and another body of literature that compares methodologies for teaching
