This study mainly explored System 44 computer-based intervention to help struggling readers in phonics, fluency, and comprehension at the middle school level in Capital School District, William Henry Middle School. According to the findings of this research, the System 44 program looks hopeful. There seems to have been a positive effect on learning of phonics, fluency and comprehension for students with learning difficulties related to System 44. The System 44 model was originally designed for a 90 minute class period. This includes small group, independent reading, and System 44. PASS classes at William Henry Middle School are only half of that time, which is an abbreviated version of the original design. Students receive twenty minutes of
Why would you like to apply for Viper: I think playing viper over and over again is getting kind of repetitive so i think i could moderate it and make it a better server in general due to my activity i would be moving people in ts anytime i am on i would be trying to get on the server everyday to atleast moderate it for as much as i can and i think this could really improve the server a quite bit since some people complain about staff and the server in general. Another reason is because i find having a job to do is kind of fun my job would be to assist people and ban hackers of course i do not ban unless i am completely sure the person is hacking if i need assistance i would ask for a higher staff member to help me with the situation in general

Tyner’s Small-Group Differentiated Reading Model builds on each individual component and supports each of the other components. Each lesson of the model introduces new text for the students to read, interpret, comprehend, and synthesize. The re-reading of the text increases fluency, identification of sight words and their meanings, and comprehension
(Counselors Affecting Reading Everyday). My plan would involve developing one-on-one counseling sessions where the students would start off by taking a learning style inventory as well as a reading interest inventory. The purpose of the learning style inventory would be to help the students as well as their teachers to understand how each individual child learns and processes information. The reading interest inventory would serve the purpose of helping the students to find a particular type of text that they may enjoy reading. Upon completion of the learning style inventory and reading interest inventory, the students would begin meeting with the counselor to receive one-on-one reading opportunities using books that students self-select based on their interest. This one-on-one meeting will serve to meet the needs of those students who stated that they did not have anyone at home to read with. The students will utilize the school’s Accelerated Reading program to take quizzes on the books they read with the counselor. After earning their first five Accelerated Reading points, a book will be purchased for the student based on their interest. This incentive plan will serve as a means to provide personal books for those students that do not own any as well as attempting to help them to get over the fear or taking reading tests. During these weekly meetings, the counselor will provide a variety of reading text (based on student
In every school across America, effective practices of reading instruction are being discussed. Calkins (2012) suggests that over 85% of students being tested on grade level literacy standards are non-proficient. Research suggests that students, who are unable to read proficiently by third grade, are not predicted to ever learn to read or have successful lives when they reach adulthood (Martinez, 2008). For these reasons, it is important that districts implement literacy models and instructional reforms that have been well researched and shown to be successful. The instructional reform method of Balanced Literacy is being used throughout the country to meet the challenging standards of the Common Core. Teachers will need
Shared book reading focuses on developing comprehension, alphabetics, and general reading achievement to enhance student literacy achievement. The teacher selects a text and reads it aloud to a student and/or group of students. The shared book reading program allows the teacher to model reading strategies, increase alphabetic skills, and activate and increase comprehension skills through targeted questions, prompts, and strategies. During the reading the teacher prompts students with strategic prompts and/or questions to engage the students in the text. Moreover, the teacher directs the students to key elements within the pictures, words, and/or text features. The teacher tailors the shared reading experience to meet the needs of the participants (International Reading Association Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Committee, 2012). Hence, educators are able to alter prompts, questions, and strategies to enhance the learning needs of
“Young Goodman Brown” – the Poverty in the Tale and in the Life of the Author
For this class the teachers also incorporate technological advancements into the reading curriculum by implementing computer programs that teach phonic and language awareness with sight word decoding and recognition. The computer programs are particularly useful for providing positive incentives for the students as they view instructional games as rewards for accomplishments in classroom tasks; therefore the students continue to learn, independently, in addition to their work in class with their peers and teacher.
Most of the other students in her 2nd grade classroom are able to read classroom text and complete work independently. They also read books for enjoyment on their own. The reading time in her classroom consists of a block during which the teacher works with small groups and the children are expected to work quite independently when they are not working directly with the teacher. The class uses a trade book format and this is utilized across the curriculum. Students are provided with short skills building lessons in large and small groups. Most of the time spent during explicit reading instruction is targeted to helping students develop reading fluency.
According to the Georgia Department of Education, the Georgia State School Board of Education adopted a new set of standards known as the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. Since the Common Core Standards State Standards assess the same English Language Arts standards as the Georgia Performance Standards, Georgia’s curriculum is called Common Core Georgia Performance Standards. Of the ELA standards for first grade, one requires that students be able to ask and answer questions based on the details in a text. This standard also requires that the student be able to retell stories, including details, and demonstrate comprehension. This could be an issue for special needs students. Students with a learning disability in reading often have difficulty comprehending texts in books and other reading material that is written at their grade level. However, there are many strategies to use to improve reading comprehension in struggling readers. With the increase use of technology, my review is written to determine if pre-recordings readings are more effective than teacher-led read aloud in improving comprehension skills of students with disabilities.
This is an Inclusion Support Core Curriculum Project for reading. My goal is to align instruction in Language Arts & Literacy with the Common Core Standards. Each grade level in Middle School features standards that describe what students should know and be able to do to, in order to succeed at the next grade level. This document is organized into instructional units with key concepts and skills identified, that suggest the pacing guide highlights and identifies resources, instructional technology and assessment. These resources were selected to provide educators with the tools and guidance to enhance instruction and maximize student learning.
I attended the liturgy at Faithful Savior Lutheran Church located in Southeast Portland on the weekend before Spring Break (3/13/2016). I went to the Lutheran Church with my parent, who came there as a guest speaker after the liturgy. I experienced a different but similar way of worship service, since they are quite different from each other in the concept of communion but very similar in general structures.
The analysis determined that difficulties in reading are strongly related to the lack of phonemic awareness. Instruction, when given explicitly and direct one on one focus in one skill area of phonemic awareness were greater than instructions that focused on three or more skill areas. In addition, the NRP continued to state that children taught in small group settings showed larger improvement gains than students taught in large groups or individually. The panel concluded that it could be taught under a variation of conditions, for a diverse range of learners. Furthermore, it stated that instruction of phonemic awareness was more effective through the use of letters, explicitly focused on only one or two areas of awareness, lesson and activities were tailored toward small group development levels, and program ranged from 5 to 18 hours – remaining under 20 hours of instruction based on 25 minute instruction
Using Technology for Phonics Instruction in Kindergarten is an article written by Rita Suh and Victoria Gerson which can be found in The California Reader in the SPRING 2013 VOL. 46, No. 3 issue. Suh and Gerson are both graduates of the Masters in Reading/Language Arts according to https://www.ced.csulb.edu/readinglanguage-arts-grads-rita-suh-and-victoria-gerson-published-california-reader. They document through the article, their advantages to having technology in their classrooms and how it enhanced their classroom instructions.
For purposes that exist outside of the narratives, both Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the first eighteen sonnets of his published sequence are self-referential. This is evident as his sonnets explore the notion of preserving the subject’s beauty by establishing themselves as the primary method in which this may occur in order to win favour with a potential patron. On the other hand, A Midsummer Night’s Dream employs this technique in order to comment on the notion of classical love, achieved through allegory, meta-theatricality and the representation of love demonstrated by character relationships. With the intentions of currying a patron’s favour and making comment on the supposed fable of classical love, these works by Shakespeare are both self-referential and allegorical.
