The question that I have chosen for my inquiry project is: How can you improve performance in a first grade classroom with Guided Reading? I am interested in this since I teach first grade. As a first grade teacher I am always looking for ways to improve my class’s performance. Guided reading offers support to the students as they are learning. Rogoff suggested that “adults support children’s learning by structuring the task’s difficulty level, jointly participating in problem solving, focusing the learner’s attention to the task, and motivating the learner.” (Frey & Fisher, 2010, 84).

memory: every time you read look for comparisons, and ask yourself, “Where have I seen this before?”

Reading Recovery is a program that was created by Marie Clay in New Zealand (Moore & Wade, 1998). She designed a program to help early readers who were having difficulty so they might progress to a reading level similar to their classmates (Lose, 2000). The program was later brought to the United States and implemented in Ohio. It has gained popularity in many other states since that time.

Pursuing a college degree can be a very daunting task. The average student has daily distractions in the form of competing responsibilities and challenges that may impact their studies. Whether entering college immediately following high school or returning to school to complete a degree, students will need to focus on several key strategies to stay on task.

Some of the biggest concerns remained specifically with three Spanish-speaking students, each of whom were natives of El Salvador. Each of these students spoke English as a Second Language. These students have been identified with learning disabilities, specifically auditory deficits. All have been tested at a reading comprehension level of third grade using the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI) and the Degrees of Reading Powers (DRP). They each had IEP goals for reading and writing. These three students did not contribute to classroom discussions nor have many social interactions with other students. They had, however, formed a tight-knit social group with each

It is possible to increase your ability to retain and recall information so that it is easier for you to think of the right answer during your test.

In my opinion, the reason for this assignment is for the teacher to see where we are in our reading, and writing. Reading to me must happen when I am interested in something for example, a movie because I enjoy reading about the plots but everyone is different. Another example is a graphic novel, because you can understand the concept or plot a lot easier than you would do in a regular novel. In regular books, you have so many things going on and you aren’t able to understand what is happening then you end up getting the wrong idea. Writing is just about the same for example, I can’t write about something that I know nothing about or interested in. Therefore, I am writing this paper to show you my weaknesses and not my strengths because I

ENHANCING MEMORY: Although there are different types of memory and memory stores with different parts of the brain carrying out a specific function, individuals are still susceptible to poor memory. This happens in a healthy person when information is not coded correctly, or there is interference from other information. However, individuals do not have to be disadvantaged by these limitations; they can utilize different techniques to get a better memory performance. Individuals can use mnemonic devices to enhance their memories. Two (2) effective mnemonic devices are chunking and rhyming.

This second experiment only included young adults and older adults, excluding children. In addition, this experiment was not testing the monitor size because the previous experiment showed that the size was not significant. Instead, this experiment focused more on reading speed and comprehension. First, a long article and a short article were read by each participant. Then two quizzes were given to the participant. One measured whether the participant understood the ideas of the article and the other tested how much they remembered about it. They would read these articles on paper and on a

rying to improve your memory when you have no time? These days so many of us are rushed off our feet trying to get all the things we need to do in a day out of the way, that we suffer from information overload, which can really affect our memories, ability to recall and concentration.

The focus of my coursework is to find out whether the age of a person impacts on the reading speed or if gender affects the reading speed of a person. I am going to carry out this research in order to prove or disprove these hypotheses:
