As I have lacked experience in reading and writing English has become my most feared subject. It happens to be my only weak spot in my perfect academic record. Other than social media, I cannot recall reading anything since “Shakespeare” it was assigned to me by my 10th grade English teacher. Not that I read a great deal before that, I don’t recall persuing any books in my past years of school either. When it comes to English, my brain feels like rusty gear covered in spider webs in an old machine
The one particular class I had a good experience in was in my Algebra class in 12th grade. I say this because that was a class I needed to graduate High school. Let’s just say I wasn’t the best student in my previous grades. The teacher I got for Algebra was Mr. Hernandez he was a young teacher, fun and concerning of his students. So the first day of class I told him that this is the class I need to graduate. He told me “Don’t worry, we will graduate together”. So every day after school, he would
Introduction Throughout my field experience this semester at Oasis Catholico, I was exposed to many different areas of educational psychology and I was able to see these practices being implemented as well as the results that they produced. Throughout my field experience, however; Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, intrinsic extrinsic motivation, and feedback as well as its contribution to student success took precedence in my weekly visits and allowed for my reflection on concepts discussed
Reading has always been something I have enjoyed. I feel like reading takes some time to get to the level where comprehension and accuracy are equal. There are some good things that have happened to me because of reading and there are also some bad things that have happened because of reading. As previously read from above it was stated some good things have happened to me because of reading. One thing that has happened for the good is because of reading my personal vocabulary has improved with
Writing to me has changed over the years as I experience more as I grow up. From thinking that writing is dull to believing writing is expressive and vibrant. From the learning toddler to the naive twelve year-old to the seventeen year-old scholar. I have many great and horrible experiences in writing which led to the writer I am today. Growing up as a second generation vietnamese-american was not as bad as people think. I learned English and Vietnamese at the same time as a child. I grew up speaking
This paper seeks to compare my personal view about research reading to the views expressed by Shanahan; Sadoski in their writing. In my view, I strongly agree with the need of reading research as they aid to eradicate reading failures as educators get to know and act based on scientific evidence. It is true that students who have difficulties in reading have challenges in mastering the academic content and thereby most of them fail to succeed in academics and also fail to achieve their life potential
didn’t know how to read and write. Reading is everywhere and is a very important, as well as a necessary, part of the human life. Everyday activities include reading road signs, magazines, billboards, texts, newspapers, emails, books, labels and so on. Over the years of learning how to properly read and write, my family and teachers have definitely made a massive impact on my reading and writing techniques that I use today. Books have been an enormous part of my life, if not one of the biggest. They
very young age, I learned that writing and reading homework was the one that I most hated doing. I didn’t learn how to read and write until I entered elementary school. I remember that my mom would put my brother and I to do our writing homework and she would tell me to do my letters smaller and she would tell my brother to write bigger. She would really struggle with both of us when it came to doing our homework because she would tell me something and my brother would do it and vice versa. I don’t

The Big Read program aims to support creative reading in specific communities. As literary reading started to decline among people, especially the young, the Big read aims to support American literary reading by giving the readers the opportunity to read and discuss their reading within their communities ("The Big Read," n.d.).

reflecting on the best practices in reading instruction and how these theories have influenced my teaching as an elementary educator. The focus of this paper will be on the theories, theorists and models from the book, Lenses on Reading: An Introduction to Theories and Models, before formulating my own opinion on best practices in reading instruction. Theories and models within this paper will be connected to one or more of the thirteen core understandings about reading and learning to read. Finally,
