Case Study: Angel Juarez

I am very close friends with Shannon’s mom having worked with her previously. She described her daughter as an avid reader and stated that she does well in English in school. Shannon described some of the texts she had read and we had a brief discussion about our favorite book series before administering the test. Shannon was rather quiet during the testing waiting for my cues before responding or expounding on anything. Overall she did very well on the 9th grade informal reading assessment. Her reading accuracy was very high, with only miscues on unfamiliar names like “Trotula di Ruggerio” and “Salerno” which she was able to sound out. She had some challenges with the inference based questions, such as “Why would people be likely to regard ‘wise woman teacher’ as a good name for Trotula?”. Shannon was in the ballpark for this answer although her response could have been more concise.

By creating a student case report, a teacher of reading can develop a holistic understanding of a child's reading development. The benefits of keeping a case report include having diagnostic, formative, and summative data on a student's reading progress combined with anecdotal and teacher observational data which provides contextual information on the student. Therefore, allowing the educator to make more informed instructional decisions regarding a reader as well as provide the most accurate and detailed information to parents and other stakeholders (such as special education professionals or educational psychologists) as needed. With a case report, such as an Informal Reading Inventory, the educator can build on a wealth of knowledge about the readers' holistic literacy (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary) in order to determine what the next steps will be for the reader.

When Rodriguez was a child his mother always told him to not write in the books so that the books could be sold at the end of the school year. He would go to school and come to the realization that reading was the central activity of the class. There would be signs all over the wall encouraging students to read. As Rodriguez would listen to the constant lectures of reading will help you learn, he got lost in all the words as he began to read. Rodriguez did not understand words, sentences, paragraphs or even pages at a time. He would have to look the meaning of the words up to fully comprehend the meaning of the book.

The student I worked with is in 5th grade. We did a DRA on a story called “Cry Foul”. This is a great assessment to assess a student’s reading ability in order to enhance his or her literacy achievement. I learned many things about my student that he likes to read adventurous books and books regarding sports. He wants to become a better reader by enhancing his understanding and vocabulary of the text. It’s also a bit difficult for him since English is his second language and a year ago he was taking ESL classes. It’s amazing that he has great goal settings that determines that he wants to become a better reader. The things that I observed about the student is that his oral reading is fluent since he had about three miscues in which one was

One of the most eye opening experiences of my life occurred in the second grade. I would have never thought that doing one simple assignment in elementary school could change my whole perspective on literacy. My understanding of literacy was sparked when I had read my first real book. I remember sitting down on the vividly colorful carpet day dreaming about playing Mario Cart on my Nintendo 64 while everyone was obediently listening to the teacher read a book out loud. It wasn’t that I did not know how to read or listen, I just didn’t care. Reading to me used to be tedious because I did not understand the purpose of it. I did not grow up with the luxury of my parents reading to me because they weren’t literate in English, so I had to figure out for myself why literacy is vital in everyday life. My ongoing learning experience with literacy can be traced back to one simple visit to library.

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

It is reassuring to know you understand the urgency of the crisis Literacy Orange is currently under, and have taken a positive, first step to resolve the matter.

Literacy is defined as being literate, that is, being able to read and write in a language. My personal experience with literacy began at an early age, at the age of 4 when I began to sit and read words and letters in the back of my mother’s car. Soon enough, she would bring me a magazine called “Majed” which, in the 90’s, was a popular magazine. With this, I began even more interested in reading and writing and reviewed every word in the magazine associated with each of the short pictured stories. It was the first memory I deeply recall of literacy and it was what laid the foundation for my personal love of reading and writing. The methodology used for this is an interview. There are three interviews which are analyzed and brought together in the form of a narrative. This narrative serves to better explain the emotions and thoughts that the interviewees had about the idea of literacy.

Educators are charged with not only teaching the content of their subject, but also responsible for creating a learning environments that fosters communication, engagement, and reflection so that the students will be prepared for their future careers and learning. Creating a classroom that fosters reading and writing is one way to engage students while promoting that they reflect on the material and communicate their understanding or misconceptions of the content. In order to form a literacy-rich classroom educators need to increase the amount of time students interact with all forms of print and literacy and the classroom environment is an essential key to setting the precedent and model behaviors that will make students more successful and capable of high level learning.
