Reading Narrative I hate reading. Scratch that, I hate assigned reading. I know, “hate” is a strong word, but elementary-school-me had strong feelings. Especially when I was sat at the dining table, cramming hundreds of word in my brain before the next day, the due date for every second grader to read a whopping total of a thousand words. Given we had a few months to do this, but even at a young age I practiced the art of procrastination. This happened frequently during elementary school years,

Modeled reading is often explained as the process of reading aloud, such as a teacher reading aloud to students or students reading aloud to each other (Sipe, 2002). However, the modelling process of the balanced literacy philosophy should be more than simply a teacher reading aloud to students or students reading aloud to each other as a class. Instead, modelling should involve teachers demonstrating the action of engaging with a text. For example, a teacher might engage in modelling by showing

When we read, we use our eyes to receive written symbols (letters, punctuation marks and spaces) and we use our brain to convert them into words, sentences and paragraphs that communicate something to us.

My odyssey of reading starts when I was small, I remember that my

Theoretical Framework Reading Recovery was developed in New Zealand by Marie Clay in the mid-1970’s. It was brought to the United States by professors from The Ohio State University (Rinehart & Short, 2010). Marie Clay’s research led to what she called a literacy processing theory upon which Reading Recovery is based. Clay conducted a study of 100 children that she followed for one year to determine whether and why their reading processing went astray. The principles from this theory serve as

always told by teachers, counselors, and specialists to just read more. As if reading more would be a magical cure for all of my issues. Only my parents knew exactly what I was struggling with and how difficult reading was for me. I think between my struggles and their blaming my “disabilities” on my not reading enough, I was turned off from reading. I have and still read for assignments but rarely any pleasure reading, simply because it

Forced/required/assigned reading has a significant effect on all students. Forced reading is reading assigned by school teachers to students who will eventually be tested over the plot, characters, themes and/or other details in the book. Many students don’t realize that required reading is much different than reading for pleasure. Testing over assigned reading requires a student to pay attention to several small details that would otherwise be overlooked if they were reading on their own. Although
