Teaching Students to Understand Reading

Explain the Simple View of Reading and its applications for teaching in relation to your SE1 context, with particular reference to strategies for teaching and assessing reading.

Trezek and Wang (2006) evaluated the effectiveness of utilizing the Reading Mastery I program (Engelmann & Brunner, 1995) supplemented by Visual Phonics with kindergarten and first-grade d/Dhh students. Three teachers in a Total Communication program and 13 students were included in the study that lasted over 8 months. Students’ degree of hearing loss ranged from severe to profound, and two of the first graders wore cochlear implants. Students were divided into three groups based on their age for instructions.

The learning outcomes are important. There has to be a reason on why something is being taught, and how it will be useful to the students future. Throughout the paper, I’m going to give you an example of a lesson plan I

It has been shown that if students start at an early age to learn to read and write their learning in all content areas will improve. It is for this reason it is important for secondary teachers to understand early reading acquisition as to incorporate those reading skills in lesson to accommodate students with reading deficiencies. Educators can understand the building blocks of how a student learns and develops into a successful reader in order to help them develop their reading skills. If teachers understand reading acquisition they can better assess their students’ reading level. As such, the role of professional judgement in understanding the selection of reading or writing material is to know their students reading needs and select materials

When I was little, I loved to have my parents read to me all the time. At first, I didn’t learn to read because I didn’t want to read the “Learn to Read” books and preferred for my parents to read to me. I remember sitting with my Dad and following along while he read Harry Potter aloud to me and traced the words with his finger. Then we started to take turns reading aloud. I started to read more and more by myself after I was able to read the first chapter of Harry Potter (with a little bit of help). Then I worked my way through the rest of the book. I loved how reading let you explore new worlds and different points of view.

One third of schools in the United States are located within rural areas. Rural areas are known to be small towns where people are known for a southern way of life. These areas are also known for high poverty and geographic seclusion. With these characteristics for an environment, it is difficult to maintain an upright school atmosphere. Most schools in rural areas are lacking high qualified teachers and the school itself is failing to develop strategies to help struggling readers in early elementary school.

I remember my love of books and how I was determined to learn how to read. Whether it was pretending to read, or my mom helping me. I remember reading out loud to my parents at home and writing little stories for my family to read. I still have some of the short stories I made when I was little. I would read and write everyday and I never got old of it. My writing skills are lot better now, obviously.

“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.

The Common Core State Standards place importance on the ability for students to understand and analyze key ideas in text. Students who have reading fluency are able to read text at a steady rate, summarize supporting details, and analyze different points of view. To assess a student’s fluency rate, teachers can measure WCPM, the words read correctly per minute in 2-3 grade-level passages. To assess reading comprehension, teachers can ask students to read and summarize short passages, then rate the student’s summary of the events and characters on a 7-point scale.

When I first began learning how to read and write, I often found myself struggling to grasp the concepts. Looking back on my experience, I can recall how a lot of the other kids in my class encountered no difficulty. Compared to the majority of them, I worked at a slower pace and required more frequent help from my teacher. Eventually, it got to the point where I questioned if the idea of being able to read and write independently was even possible. Although I was struggling and would often get down on myself, I never let the obstacles I encountered stand in the way of advancing my skills. As a learner, I desired to improve and believed that I had the ability to do so. Therefore, I took action and began receiving help from my older sister.

Regardless of the fact that children start in the same spot when it comes to learning, every child is different therefore, there are possibilities to developmental delays. During one’s middle childhood period, cognitive processes, among many other factors are developing. Children encounter many hardships during this time. Learning to read is a major developmental challenge for many kids. According to an article regarding struggling readers, “learning to read is a challenge for almost 40% of kids” (Reading Rockets, 2015). As life progresses, so does a child’s development and how they manage to go through life day by day. The challenge of learning to read can definitely affect the adults present in a child’s life. Teachers and parents are two of the biggest roles in a child’s life that has to deal with this obstacle in development. A teacher needs his or her students to become well-rounded educated citizens. However, this period of time is definitely one of the hardest stages for teachers to be successful educating all of their students only because this is the time in the learner’s life where they are being taught many different new concepts required in life for them to

I am from Alabama, so I learned to read with the Sally, Dick, and Jane reading books. Oh of course, I can’t forget about Spot the dog. I think back then the teachers did a lot to get us reading. I have been reading about all of the new ways to teach kids phonics awareness, but when I was a child, the teachers taught phonics just like they do now. We all learned our letter sounds associations then we started to put sounds together to make words then we did the word lists and spelling words etc. We broke words down in syllables. We did rhyming, poems, and songs and all kinds of phonics activities just like how reading is taught today. Back then the only difference I notice is that, we did the group lessons where we had to do a lot of repeating which of course everyone today knows as “rote,” but let me tell you “rote” worked pretty well for us.

Upon my arrival today, the students were silently working on math skills using number lines. Once they finished, they went up to the teacher’s desk and had her to review their work until it was time for recess. When the students returned from recess they changed to Ms. O’Neal’s class for reading and social studies instruction. Prior to beginning the day’s reading lesson, the students completed two worksheet pages. One of them was on main idea and details and the other was on sequencing of events. With the main idea and details worksheet, the students collectively read a passage and determined the main idea along with 3 supporting details. With the sequencing of events worksheet, the students read a passage on Hurricane Katrina and were to fill in a graphic organizer with important events and dates

In elementary school the one subject I always would struggle with was spelling. At the end of every week we would have a spelling test based on a set of words that came from a vocabulary or spelling workbook. On Mondays at the beginning of class we would receive the previous week’s test and examine the words for the test that week. I would always study and would try a million different methods, even coming up with my own unique methods to study. No matter what process I used my grade would always end up being poor. My mom would always be on me about doing better on the test but nothing would come about from that. So, my mom decided to get involved and attempt to raise my grades.
