In today 's education, students are expected to read and understand complex texts, read higher level informational texts, expand their academic vocabulary and communicate their reading and learning abilities through writing, in order to meet the Common Core Standards (Buehl, 2014). Researchers indicate that comprehension occurs when a reader engages with the text by creating meaning from what he or she is reading (Buehl, 2014). Four conditions that determine what meaning a reader will construct are, the readers, the text, the task, and the context. These four conditions play a significant role in helping students create meaning from a text, while also helping students meet the Common Core literacy standards (Buehl, 2014).

In addition to determining what text students should learn from, it is also important to make sure that students are meeting Common Core standards by reading complex text (Buehl, 2014). To ensure that students are reading complex text, several factors have to be included to validate the text complexity such as, qualitative factors, which includes the text structure, author purpose, and clarity of ideas. Quantitative factors, which includes, word difficulty, sentence strength and text cohesion and reader and task consideration, which includes, knowledge, interest, and motivation of the reader (Buehl, 2014).
Therefore, the activities to engage students with should also include a variety of resources that will help students comprehend complex text. For example, students can be offered different methods to complete their activity. Students can choose from using technology or worksheet handouts. Using digital tools, like some that we discussed in class ED 615, will make it easier to have helpful resources such as online textbooks, videos, vocabulary assistance sites, and articles, readily available for students to use if they come across a challenge (McLaughlin, 2015).

Learning Disabilities Reflection
Introduction
Over time learning disabilities have become more prevalent when it comes to the child’s learning ability in school. It has been found that millions of children struggle daily due to a neurologically-based processing problem. With learning disabilities, it becomes very difficult for a child to learn basic skills from reading, writing, and math. This disability prevents children from being able to learn like the rest, therefore if not addressed during school
several years as a tremendous pro-learning form of assessment .A major part of different studies on the dynamic assessment was directly rooted from the outset by Vygotsky’s concept of the ZPD as a new crucial interesting item and his emphasis on applying instruction in assessment simultneously.
Following researchers have demonstrated the importance and effectiveness of dynamic assessment in different areas of applied linguistics and language learning skills and subskills and try to depict
Learning Disabilities and Disorders
Types of Learning Disorders and Their Signs
Could it be that your child struggles with school? Do you observe he or she avoiding reading out loud, tackling a math problem, or writing an essay? Certainly every child has trouble with homework from time to time, if a certain area of learning is consistently difficult, it might point to a learning disorder. By being knowledgeable on all you can about learning disabilities, you can make sure your child gets the adequate

Disability Components According to IDEA
Students with specific learning disabilities usually have challenges in acquiring reading and language skills. According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a child may be determined to have specific learning disability only if he/she is found to have a discrepancy in oral expression, listening comprehension, written
Literacy is a student’s ability to read, write, speak, think, and problem solve with the purpose to communicate properly with others. A vital goal as teachers is to equip our students with the literacy skills necessary to successfully read and understand text regardless if they are reading to learn or reading for enjoyment. Teachers’ desire students to learn and understand the content they are teaching, however teachers must provide the skills necessary to interpret, understand, and apply the knowledge
1. There are many types of diversity. List two types and explain how those affect students’ reading abilities.
Linguistic diversity is when a student’s first language is not the language of instruction at school. According to Garcia, American Standard English is seen as a vital tool for success in the United States which affects reading abilities of English language learners. Since the implantation of No Child Left Behind and Common Core, English language learners have to a second language and complex
The role of reading and writing in the academic setting
Over the semester, we have studied the importance of reading and writing across the essential studies curriculum. In our studies, we have analyzed 3 pieces of literature: Richard Rodriguez’s “the Achievement of Desire”, Lucille P. McCarthy’s a “A Stranger in Strange Lands”, and David R. Russell, and Arturo Yanez’s “’Big Picture People Rarely Become Historians’. We have used these 3 heavily cited and well known articles and narratives to sculpt
accountability for what students are learning. Minimum competency tests, achievement tests, and screening instruments were used to ensure that students from preschool through college reached the desired educational goals and achieved the minimum standards of education that were established locally or by the state education agency. As we continue in a new century, these concerns have increased.
Trends in a New Century
In the 1990s many schools improved the learning environment and
vocabulary incorporates as the best-approved evidence-based instructional strategy targeted at improving children ability to read and write. Vocabulary taught at kindergarten assists in improving the children ability to communicate effectively with peers and learn effectively. The strategy was developed to assist children in finding the necessary skills required for improving language ability as well as develop effective communication among children in the kindergarten. Additionally, word level skills
backgrounds as well. They have diverse intellectual abilities and preferences and learning methods. Thus, by introducing interdisciplinary learning methodologies in which students can be educated with a variety of curriculums and instructions, students would be able to be encouraged to develop their learning skills more effectively. Students can use their past learning, intellectual experience and skills to learn and acquire new knowledge and skills. Through this process, students can be stimulated in their
