Ideal Reading Program for Fifth Grade Devon Alder Liberty University   How should a flourishing reading program for fifth grade appear? “There’s no one best way to teach reading; instead, [educators must] create a balanced literacy program” to meet every student’s needs (Tompkins, 2014, p.327). It is essential that all literacy programs feature instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension so that students can become capable readers and writers. Phonemic

literacy by providing those interests with meaning and purpose, and by explicitly linking them ‘between spoken and written language in order to effect the bridge that is so powerful for literacy development’ (Reid, 1993 cited Riley, 1996). So what is reading? It is a highly complicated process involving how to make meaning from printed symbols and understanding the black marks on the page and the demanding knowledge of syntax (sentence structure). Recognising the small round letters is not easy as upper

I have been reading and writing for as long as I can remember. I always enjoyed reading and writing stories, even when I wasn’t in school. While reading had never been much of a struggle, I always had a hard time writing my thoughts down on paper the way that I wanted. The earliest recollections I have of myself learning to read is when I was about five years old. My mother wasn’t there when I started to learn how to read.

Analysis of Allusions in “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” What goes through your mind when you read? Do you read deliberately, looking for certain aspects, or do you read as a blank slate?

Foster in his book “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” expands on this concept. He endeavors to instruct his readers in the way he believes they should read, in order

Whole language is considered a "top down" approach where the reader constructs a personal meaning for a text based on using their prior knowledge to interpret the meaning of what they are reading. Teachers are expected to provide a literacy rich environment for their students and to combine speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Whole language teachers emphasize the meaning of texts over the sounds of letters, and phonics instruction becomes just one component of the whole language classroom. Problems

for getting more children to read. Songs of Birds is one of these select books. In Songs of Birds, Hugh Lupton beautifully portrays a set of stories and poems with an exciting tone and a diverse array of cultural traditions, while Steve Palin immerses the reader with his lively illustrations. The boring tone of a book that discourages reading is not found in this book. Instead, the exciting tone that captivates children is there. There is action, and even mild violence (for those kids who watch

The artifact that demonstrates the type of reading program I want in my future classroom is the book “Don’t Laugh At Me” by Steve Seskin, Allen Shamblin and Glin Dibley, and the song that goes with it.
