Reading Process

Reading: Locates, understands, and interprets written information in prose and documents--including manuals, graphs, and schedules--to perform tasks; learns from text by determining the main idea or essential message; identifies relevant details, facts and specifications; infers or locates the meaning of unknown or technical vocabulary; and judges the accuracy, appropriateness, style, and plausibility of reports, proposals, or theories of other writers.( 134 USDOL)

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

Through the course, I learned that there are many benefits of reading books to children. Children would improve their communicative skills by talking about their favorite part of the story. Children would respect each other by taking turns. They would improve their cognitive skills by predicting the events of a story. Moreover, reading books would expand children’s vocabularies by introducing new words.

“The more you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” –Dr. Seuss. Dr.Seuss could not be any more right. It is often said that once you find the right book, you could go anywhere. Literacy is one of the most important things that a child could ever learn. In order to succeed in society today, one must be able to read, write, speak and even listen. There has been great debate over the different approaches when it comes to teaching children how to read. This essay will go more in depth on both approaches, how the writer learned how to read, how the writer will teach their students how to read.

Many of us go through our everyday lives not realizing the many things that have built us to become who we are today. We were blessed enough to grow up in a well-educated society, where we are constantly growing and bettering ourselves. We have taken this education or more so our “foundation” and utilized it to help build ourselves. Reading is one of the most substantial learning blocks, it’s something that we use in our everyday lives that help us reach our maximum potential in life.

Children can take more than one of these steps at the same time. This list of steps, though, gives you a general idea of how your child will progress toward reading.” (Helping your child become a reader) While these ideas may seem structured, it is also important to allow children to be creative and use their imagination. Although reading is imperative, too many arrangements and rules can turn a child off and lead to feelings of resentment, anger, and resistance. Reading should be set to the tone and pace of the child.

Reading to children assists children in this process before they can read, but soon their own ability to read will allow for self-guidance. In addition to connecting with the fictional characters in their favorite books, spending time reading encourages an emotional connection between child and parent. When parents engage their child in the learning opportunity of reading, they will learn to value their relationship with books and their parents. "Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light."

The teacher play a crucial role in encourage children’s positive attitude toward reading and writing. What the educators do and say help promote a lifelong habit of reading and writing for pleasure and for giving and receiving information.

Beyond your child's physical and sensory development, the brain, likewise, needs to be stimulated and kept in shape. Studies have shown time and again that people who are read to as children tend to do better in school and in their careers. Children's books and regular reading sessions can make the difference between a child who enjoys the challenge of schoolwork and a child who finds schoolwork to be a

The two main components of reading and viewing are decoding and comprehension. Decoding is a process where students work out the meaning of words in a text. Readers draw on their phonic, vocabulary, grammatical and contextual knowledge and those who decode effectively combine these forms of prior knowledge, and self-correct using meaning to recognise when they make a mistake in reading (ACARA, 2016).

Most people I know have a love or hate relationship with reading and writing, depending on their upbringing and experiences with each. Our world revolves around college and getting a degree in order to go into the real world to get a job. The real world can be described as paying your own bills and living out on your own. We get a job to make money, which is what most of us love to make. Parents always push their kids at a younger age to start reading so when they get older their reading skills will already be well developed. If these kids hated reading in the early stages of their life, like I did, they will soon come to realize that reading is very important. I went through a long process of hating writing, then having to learn how to love it. Many people have been in the same foot steps as myself.

Reading is an interesting thing, seeing words and creating an image in your head similar to a movie, if not more vibrant. Reading is beneficial to students, and so they should have time set aside for reading. It helps increase vocabulary, it improves cognitive abilities, and although reading helps reduce stress, it takes allot of time that could be used for other things. It’s odd to think that simple stories that appeals to us and improve our brain, in turn ourselves.

In addition, if your child learns and loves to read early, this will hopefully carry on into their teen and adults years.

In the academic world reading is like breathing is to life; an absolutely necessary component not only to succeed but to survive. To teach a child to read is to give them an opportunity to achieve their potential and realize their dreams. As teachers we should not only strive to teach children to read but more importantly we should ignite a passion inside of them so that each child wants to read; craving books as if they were food (or video games). Unfortunately in any given group of students a good percentage of them will struggle with reading. The best way to prevent a child from falling behind is early identification and intervention, coupled with a comprehensive scientifically-based literacy program (Sousa, 2005). There are five

Reading is believed to be an easy task, something we all learning and develop through the years as we grow, however, is it really that simple? To reading and understanding are both essential when a student begins to read. It is a complex action that requires a multitude of different actions/components, all working at the same time, to become a successful reader. The components that are pertinent to reading are: comprehension, oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency and vocabulary. Without these components, reading may very well be irrelevant because it does not make sense to read and not understand what is being transmitted/relayed. According to the National Reading Panel (NRP), “a combination of techniques is effective for
