: When I was in preschool which was when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I saw all of the teachers reading and I wanted to learn for myself how to read. I went home and I asked my mom "Can you help me learn how to read please." So my mom and I began the slow and steady practice of reading. I was persistent to learning how to read at a young age because I felt like it was something no other kid my age would want to do at that age. I started with simple books for about 8 months I felt like learning

Book The book I selected was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom written by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault and illustrations by Lois Ehlert. The informational book was published in 1989. It is an ABC basic concept book with funny poetry. The book is an alphabet rhyme/chant that narrates what happens when the letters try to climb a coconut tree. The recommended grade level for this is the book is for 3 years old to 6 years old ("Chicka," n.d.) Reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom supports the relationship between

Fluency Boot Camp, Week Three: Punctuation - - - -DRAFT The key is to get students to understand that punctuation is for the reader, not the writer. When students begin to focus on punctuation, the reader employs a rhythmic tonal quality that is not monotonous but captures the patterns of the language, according to Fountas and Pinnell. Although there may be variations in the way individuals interpret a text while reading, a reader’s voice goes up and down, reflecting the punctuation and the meaning

In this assignment, I will be discussing the stages of children’s writing development drawing from observations and my samples of children's work. I will further investigate the stage of writing for children in reception (4-5 years old). Learning to write follows a particular sequence of development, which includes five early stages of writing (Temple et al., 2012). The progression of the conventions of writing are indicated through the stages (Reading Rockets, 2010). Each child will differ in the

Literacy memories and events began at a young age for me, and while teachers and family members all impacted my opinions and preferences for reading, every book I read and writing assignment given to me helped me form my literacy story and come to enjoy reading. Many literacy moments came from when I was young, like my mom or dad reading to me before bed or teachers reading to me at school their favorite books. All of these memories were accompanied by everyone saying how great reading was, and for

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more place you'll go” (Dr. Seuss). The wonderful world of literature is a brilliant concept, reading can transport one to a completely diverse world, or be the bearer of awful news. To ensure the highest level of reading skills, learning to read should be taught young, but how young? Parents can start teaching their children the basic sounds of letters before their children even start school. Early guidance at home paired

Last night I started my project and I had the pleasure of starting my shared reading project with a young girl named Ahriah. The first step of this assignment was to gather the child’s concept of print while reading to them. This was my first time meeting Ahriah, although I have met her father many times before since he is a friend of my partner. Ahriah is four years old; she doesn’t go to school yet, but she goes to a daycare program. Afterwards when she is done with her daycare program she spends

Chapter ten pertained to the development in the various academic domains. The chapter was divided into six sections: reading, writing, mathematics, science, development in other domains and using content area standards to guide instruction. Reading begins with a foundation in spoken language. Children must understand the relationship between the ways words sound and how they look and relate to one another on paper. Early exposure to reading and writing introduces children to emergent literacy.

As a young child, every night before bedtime my mom would always sit down on the living room sofa with my sister and me, reading story after story, until it was really past our bedtime. We read pieces of literature like “Charlotte’s Web”, “The Little House on the Prairie”, “The BFG” and my favorite, “Junie B. Jones”. But at such a young age, I didn’t realize that my mom was reading these fictional stories to teach my sister and me important lessons and morals about life. It is very important to read
