Reading Level Addison was administered the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System in order to determine her current reading level. The following table demonstrates Addison’s independent, instructional, and frustration reading levels and a brief explanation of the levels compared to grade levels.

class, a professor of mine once articulated the logic of learning by stating, for a person to authentically take command of his/her knowledge they must be able to teach what they have learned (2012, P. Lumsden, lecture). Dyslexia, a specific word reading disability causing a deficit in phonological awareness (PA) fluency and comprehension, affects seventy-two percent of the children in Alberta with learning disabilities (LD). Through years of research in the field of Dyslexia, empirical evidence demonstrates

Introduction By the age of seven, reading is an activity many children are well accustomed to. With the amount of time most individuals have been reading, this task is relatively easy. Yet, there are still instances in which we are reading a novel, a magazine, or even a simple text message, and we simply cannot manage to remember what we read. This is event is due to interference. Interference theory states that there are two forms of interference that can hinder our ability to properly encode information

any link between English reading (Arts) and Mathematics skills (Science) seems to have been at best a tenuous one. The issue brought into the public domain by C P Snow (Rede Lecture 1959) where he claimed: ‘The two cultures (Arts and Science) stare at each other with mutual hostility and dislike…’ If this state of affairs was reflected in educational establishments of that time the likelihood of any meaning full cooperation between those engaging in the teaching of reading comprehension and mathematics

In the United States today, 38% of children in the fourth grade have been recognized as reading way below the level of their peers. Many of these children are identified with a learning disability and receive remedial instruction in the resource rooms. (Aaron, P. G., Joshi, R., Gooden, R., & Rentum, K. E.) The Diagnostic Criteria for learning disabilities (according to the DSM V) is a specific learning disorder which is diagnosed through an examination of the child’s developmental, educational, medical

Although it was not driven to its full potential, it was proven to be stable and safe to drive at top-notch speeds. In 1997, Myself and the team had been flown over to Nevada in the United States; this is where the real tests begin. A mixture of Gypsum and water marked the track with 2 even lines cutting through the desert. I, being a pilot, was very casual about

     Magnetically levitated ground transportation, or "maglev," is an advanced mode of surface high speed transportation whereby a vehicle gliding above a guide track is suspended, guided, and propelled by magnetic forces. Because they never touch the guide track causing friction, maglev vehicles can be designed to travel at extremely high speeds, 500 kilometers per hour (300 miles per hour), or more!      Americans traveled 3.2 trillion passenger

fluency and reading comprehension all play a crucial role in determining how learners acquire skills within the classroom. This paper will review a number of scholarly literatures that give more details about fluency and reading comprehension. Over a long period of time, the ability of a learner to read educational materials fluently has been taken as the most thorough learning method through which the learner can acquire literacy. Kuhn, Schwanenflugel and Meisinger (2010) argue that reading fluency

vowel sounds in ‘pale-cheeked’ and ‘seek’ helps to bring about structure to the line. The similar sounding vowels are utilized in such a way that the line provides a flow to make the reader pronounce each word in a particular way. In my experience reading this aloud, I had to slow down to get the full effect of assonance in the passage. Another example of McKay utilizing assonance in his work is in the 10th line, “Through sleepy waters, while gulls wheel and sweep”. The accentuation on the vowel sounds

developing my print literacy. In this essay, I will be discussing some strengths and weaknesses I have realised through university work and also on placement. From an early age I always enjoyed reading and read often. As a result, reading became an aspect of print literacy I would consider a strength. I still enjoy reading greatly and would say that I am a highly active reader. A large benefactor in this, in my opinion, was the creation of eBooks and e-readers such as the kindle.
