Today when I got to school, I took time to walk around and talk to students about their weekends. Mrs. Prioreschi is big on letting kids express themselves and share things, and this time is perfect for allowing them to do that. After they got settled, I played their morning show on the computer for students to watch. Computer class was next and they were in a new programming software called coding with legos. I got taught how to complete a full set so could help students when they run into obstacles

During my years in elementary school, there was time where I was yanked from my other classmates for different types of ridiculous reading comprehension quizzes, passionate passages, and whimsical word recognition test in order to compare my results with those of my age. Those who would pull me out would stick me into a closet sized room and command me to wait for further instructions. To this very day, I can still see the tiny, cramped room with cluttered supply boxes and a dark turquoise, round

English, drastically changes those discriminating statistics. The argument is that learning a secondary language indeed supports literacy development from an early age, by reading aloud to children, making them participants of a learning incentive, and family literacy practices. A development in literacy significantly increases reading achievement test scores, helps students become better at grammatical judgment and word recognition, and improves their cognitive development.

Even though students reached the fluent reading level, it doesn’t mean that reading instruction is no longer necessary. In contrary, individuals are constantly learning new words, learning how to apply those words into their own world experiences. Hence, reading instruction is a never-ending process. Some fluent “readers have yet to learn how to adjust their reading rate or are unaware that other readers adjust their rate to match their purpose for reading. Because these readers read everything at

wonder what the effects this kind of lifestyle has on society. There is a debate whether the internet has alienated us from families, society, and reality. Supporters of this debate suggest that those ‘addicted’ to the internet use it in place of reading, face-to-face conversations, socializing, and in place of deeper thinking and brain analyzation processes. The other group suggests that the information obtained on the internet gives on the ability to process more information at a more rapid pace

Reading and writing is a crucial part in today’s society that people often take for granted. It has been part of our lives since the day we were born. Each person’s literacy exposition is more than just their ability to read and write but it’s the reason why they read and write a certain way. My literacy practices began developing before I could even speak and from that point on they continued to flourish all throughout my years of school. I was lucky to have a strong foundation laid out for me at

I. What do: Bella Thorne, Tom Cruise, Mohammed Ali, Kevin O’Leary, Steven Spielberg and Tommy Hilfiger all have in common? They are all successful people who have dyslexia. There are many more people around us that live with dyslexia and have found ways to make themselves successfully function in society. II. You or someone you know might be or had been diagnosed with dyslexia and you are here tonight at my information session to learn more about dyslexia. III. I have been in several Special Education

Literacy Environment Creating a literacy-rich environment is one of the key elements of supporting children’s literacy development. Literacy-rich classrooms tend to look quite different than the traditional classroom, covered in pre-made posters and arranged with individual desks in rows, and instead, allow for teachers to design their classrooms with their students’ needs in mind. According to an article on the Sadlier School’s blog, all elements in a classroom must be meaningful, intentional, purposeful

On October 6, 2016 at 10:30 AM I read to two 12 month old girls, Ryan and Avery, in the Infant Classroom at Ithaca Community Care at Kendal. During the reading, I brought two stories that I believed would spark interest within the children. The books that I chose were, “This Little Piggy” and “Old MacDonald had a Farm” both were published by Little Learners. There is not an actual author, just a publisher. The reason I chose these stories were because they are well known to children and could be

I know I should start this with some super interesting hook to get you interested, but I was just a normal teenage girl, and there isn 't really anything interesting about that. When I was 14 I started high school and being a freshmen was something new, harder classes, playing sports in school, playing competitive soccer out of school, and trying to have a social life, it was all really crazy to juggle. I just had this super busy schedule every week, which would eventually be true for all four years
