Reading Memoir “There is no such thing as a child that hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book,” said Frank Serafini. This statement could not be any truer. I always thought that I hated reading until I read this quote. I wish that I had received more guidance in my reading growing up. I might have enjoyed it a lot more, and I could have had a different outlook on reading as a whole. I do not have very many memories about early reading. My parents divorced when

This is the Rope: A Story from the Great Migration is about a little girl that recalls the journey of her grandmother when she migrated from South Carolina to New York City with her family. The rope is passed down from generation to generation and is used as a household item, to play games with, and hold objects in place. The rope also represents the changes, struggles, and memories that bind the family together. I would use this book in a literacy and physical education lesson with 2nd-graders.

Theme. It helps us understand the meaning of a poem, story, music, or essay. A theme is the lesson taught when you're reading. Sometimes the author wants you to find the theme easily, others want you to search and think about it. Some wait till the end to show you a lesson. A theme can be many things, it can be to not be mean, or to treat others the way you want to be treated, and in these particular stories, it's about completing tasks and being happy! Today we're going to convey the theme of "Hall

My Literary Autobiography Reading and writing are essential to any humans’ way of life. From the ages of 3 to 6 my mom had read to me every night before bedtime. The stories she had read to me ranged from fairytales to Dr. Seuss. The first chapter book I remember reading was in 1st grade. The teacher allowed us access to one book from her bookshelf. I chose Kristy’s Big Day from The Babysitters Club collection. I took such a huge liking to it that I begged my mom to buy me a collection of the books

for Prevention and other online sources. For the next two months, students will read the stories, explore the main ideas and learn about culture, art, and history. Inside Out and Back Again will be the first novel introduced to the class. Before reading, use the whole book approach and discuss the title, cover, and make predictions about the story.

I know everyone has different opinions and emotions. Therefore, everyone will write differently and

Summary and analysis of theory and research Over the last eight years, I have been a reading/literature teacher in a middle school composed of 6th through 8th grade. I find that my teaching style has evolved since finishing my undergraduate work due in part to the following theorists. “A theoretical model by definition is an abstraction, or a generalized pattern devised in order to think about a subject” (Rosenblatt, 1938). This was L. M. Rosenblatt’s premise on literacy models, and one which I

I just sit here and pick at the lovely little nail polish on my fingernails. The spots of nail polish flake off like a scab. The teacher tells everyone to be quiet and asks some students to help her pass out books. When it comes to be my turn to get a book, I thank my peer for handing me a book. I scan the book that

changed the way that people live since the beginning of time. From cavemen communicating with drawings and hand signals to the earliest form of Latin. At that time reading was a skill that very few had. It was believed to be that only the wealthy and the noble class were taught this skill. Peasants did not need it in their everyday life. Reading was considered a privilege and was also used to suppress the lower class. Knowledge is power. For me, this knowledge has molded the way that I live and communicate
