Sebastian was provided with 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. In the 4th grade passage Sebastian read the passage in 1 minute and did not miss words, placing him at an independent level for reading, comprehension, and retelling of the passage. In the 5th grade passage, Sebastian missed two words, he reversed the word “everyone” with “everytime” and the word “with” with “what.” This placed him at independent reading, comprehension and retelling of the passage level in reading. Lastly, in the 6th grade reading passage, Sebastian substituted 4 words and did not read the suffix of -ed for 1 word.

The book that I chose for this discussion is ABC”s by Dr.Seuss. I used to read it all the times to my kids when they were a lot smaller. This is a classic Dr. Seuss book that introduces the alphabet to its readers. And it also shows its readers the differences in capitalization and lowercase and encourages a strong sense of imagination. The book creates a detailed lesson of going through the alphabet. It starts off with the letter A and finishes with the letter Z.

The Eighth Amendment protects the right of prisoners before they are tried and after they are convicted. It also bars excessive fines and “cruel and unusual” punishments. In 1641, the Massachusetts Body of Liberties standards allowed the death penalty for blasphemy and had physical punishments such as cutting off ears and branding with a hot iron. But now the death penalty is no longer allowed in some states because its defined as “evolving standards of decency” and most are extremely cruel and the cost is expensive. The Eighth Amendment prohibits mentally ill persons to “cruel and unusual” punishments. The Supreme Court case in 2005 of Roper v. Simmons is about Christopher Simmons and he was sentenced to death in 1993, when he was only 17.

The sentencing structure in Texas is in need of reform within several different areas of the state’s death penalty system.

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director (Kaplan). He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children. By using his experiences in life as a foundation for most of his books, Theodor Geisel created a unique writing style that incorporated various elements and techniques, enabling his books to appeal to people of all ages.

Dr. Seuss I took an unconventional approach in the topic I chose for my reading assignment – whereas most groups selected single novels, my partner and I opted to read a collection of short stories by none other than the notorious Dr. Seuss. Were I writing this essay on a “normal” book, I would be able to pose a question about the book itself and answer it in an ordinary sort of way. However, given the subject matter I have chosen, an essay on an individual book, though possible, would be a very tricky thing to do. It would be wiser, and probably easier, to respond to the man himself. My decision to respond to the man himself makes many more choices – what facet of Dr. Seuss shall I ask myself questions about? I think

In the Lorax from Dr.Seuss expert, there is a lot of nonsense words. He used a lot of creative languages to make the story interesting for all readers. Including adults and children, it doesn't matter the age. To begin, a lot of people wonder why authors use nonsense words.

A poet, a teacher, an activist – These are all the things that Theodor Seuss Geisel managed to be. Geisel was born into the German family of Theodor Robert Geisel and Henrietta Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904. He grew up having pride in his German background, but it all changed to shame after he experienced the torment of living through WWI. Despite the discouraging experiences he had during those times, they were not enough to stop the very talented “Dr. Seuss”. Geisel showed many that there were no boundaries to the imagination. Because of the hardships he had to overcome, the impact he left on young children, and the criticism he received from others, Theodor Seuss Geisel will always be remembered as the

The child knew how to turn the pages, show me the title of the book, and show me the title page of the book. The child struggled in holding the book right side up, showing me the front cover, and the back cover, and finding the first page of text. The child was not able to tell me what the author or the illustrator did. With the conventions of print the child was able to tell me where it tells the story at, where we start to read. Lastly the he could tell me that we read from left to right and top to bottom. The child struggled with the return sweep when reading. The child excelled in showing me the spaces between words, and pointing out letters to me. The child struggled in one on one reading, and finding word boundaries around a word. The child also had problems with finding the first word on the page, and the last word on the page, and with counting the words and letters for me. The child was not able to show me the difference between a capital and lowercase letter. The child was able to identify the letters on a page, some of the specific letters that I pointed to, and also was able to identity some of the letters in his name. The child was also able to name some of the letters on a page, some of the specific letters, and some of the letters in his name. He was able to

For most children there is no clear reason as to why there is a delay in the development of speech, language and communication skills. Therefore, an adult should never assume that the child’s speech, language and communication problems are due to hearing loss. It may be that the child is experiencing communicating difficulties that are unrelated to their hearing problems because the child may not have acquired the vocabulary necessary to express his thoughts and actions.

The simplicity of the vocabulary and the sentence structure in The Cat In The Hat makes it easy for almost anyone to read and enjoy. In fact, many children learn to read today studying Dr. Seuss books. Virginia M. Reid, author of the article by the National Council of Teachers of English titled Weaning Books, refers to The Cat In The Hat as a “’baby food’ type of book” for young children (8). It is these books that can get children excited about reading. Geisel uses repetition, poetic meter and rhyme to make the story flow, encouraging the reader to read it out loud. For example when the Cat In The Hat appears at the beginning of the story, he says “’I know it is wet, And the sun is not sunny. But we can have Lots of good fun that is funny!’” (Seuss 7). The words are simple and lively, immediately getting your attention. The use of the exclamation mark at the end of the sentence also cannot be a mistake. Geisel uses punctuation throughout the book for emphasis and amusement. The Cat in the Hat asks the children, “’Why do you sit there like that?” almost mimicking what the reader is thinking (Seuss 6). Geisel has even gone so far to create a rhythm as one reads the story like poetry. It is this simple language that gives The Cat In The Hat its pleasure to the reader that runs parallel but separate to its entertaining illustrations.
