different fonts. Aural means you learn best by listening. With an aural learning style, the best way for you to learn is participating in discussions, talking with your teacher about that subject, listening and recording information. Lastly with reading/writing leaning style, it’s most effective to use dictionaries, text-books, handouts, headings and the library to find great sources. I felt as though my scores were very accurate. Along with what my results say, I prefer visual. To satisfy my…

My “little” Khloe, is a fifth-grade student and is on level when it comes to reading. She reads quite well, but sometimes will read too fast and not fully comprehend what she has read. Other times, she reads so fast, she stumbles on her words. I chose these two lessons for Khloe because they support reading comprehension skills, even though that was not the main literacy component that the lessons were designed for. Also, the added focus on the social lesson with the Stellaluna lesson, persuaded…

For this IPC #2 This is my reflections on the second IPC for the UACT program. For this reading the text "Revolution Shuffle" by Boa Phil in the book Octavia's Brood.

I selected Revolution Shuffle because of the outcome of the recent elections a lot of my students had fears based on what may or may not happen with the new administration. This text was also…

more books off the shelves of libraries. Reading a book should be left upon that individual or their parents. To read is our coise and nobody should keep us from it.People should be able to read whatever books they want, if a kid’s parent does not want them to read that book then they can tell them not to read it but people should not keep others from reading. Why were books banned, reading a book should be left upon the individual or their parents, and reading is our choice and nobody should…

let me experience the pleasure to be found in those two areas. Based on my conversations with my mother and my memory of that chance meeting, I would have to guess that Mrs. Pfeiffer was presented a child who had very little exposure to writing or reading, little to no knowledge of the alphabet, phonological awareness, or concepts of print. Whatever her strategies were, she found a way to get through to me and send me into second grade well prepared. From that point on, my grades were always As…

Section A: Introduction Over the past years, I have looked for ways to help students achieve literacy goals in order for them to succeed in second grade and on. Mertler (2014) helped me guide my action research by collecting the information using the guide questions he provided. My dilemma since I started working as a teacher over seven years was helping struggling readers and writers master their syllables. According to the state standards, students are expected to know the letters and its…

books I have read for my various English classes, I read a lot of comic books. My Mom actually gives me a hard time about the fact that I do not read novels as much anymore, as she does not consider the comics I read “true” reading material. This has not stopped me from reading and collecting over a thousand issues of various comic book series. Overall my primary source of comic book material is Spider-Man (of which I have read over 600 issues), but I have a lot of Batman and Superman as well.…

Reading and writing have played a big role in my life. I first remember learning to read before preschool. I always turned on the captions for the shows I watched, so I could match what was being said with the captions being shown. Shortly after preschool started, I was reading books during class. I knew how to read before anyone else did. I even read during class, but sometimes I read when the teacher was talking and/or reading to the class (I didn’t realize I was doing it, I was very little).…

In the essay “Superman and me”, by Sherman Alexie, he focuses on how he became literate and how it impacted his life at home and school. While some of my early literacy narrative at home has…
