Action Reading Program-Step One

I began working with my student relatively late in the program due to scheduling conflicts after many negotiations and time working with student we are able to come up with a schedule that works for us. When we first began the program I noticed that she seemed to grasp the concepts rather quickly and almost became bored with the program from start. My student is a young girl who happens to be my younger sister and she is able to read. While her reading level is not low it is not real high either side. I figured this program would be perfect for her and allow her the chance to really learn some additional class time skills that you may not learning traditional classrooms as she is homeschooled. Her mother agreed to allow me to use the training class for her and teach her to read within the short amount of time that I have in this class. She began following along very well and was able to make quick progress within a few minutes and she even some games and the singing fun.

I could also see a similar program being developed for teaching foreign languages such as Japanese. Each of the steps of the program are simple and easy to learn and be done in a few short minutes if you wanted to stretch out how long you worked with student. Because I could only do it for two hours a week I did have to modify the version of the program to a certain extent in order to hasten the results. The mother was very impressed with how quickly her daughter was learning to read simple books and quickly advancing into a larger more complicated reading comprehension and short amount of

    One of the drawbacks in the lesson was not enough hands-on interaction between the students. It was mainly teacher to student. For an ELL this may be confusing if she is not checking in with the ELL student, making sure they are understanding the material. She did not once go around the tables and check for understanding with any of the student except for asking question that were needed to be answered.…

    I did this through positive praise, helping them sound out words, asking questions about the books to check their understanding and recording feedback in their reading logs. I wrote down in their logs new and challenging words for them to focus on this week. I also noticed that some children used the pictures to try and guess the words. I encouraged them to look at the words and not be afraid of the text. I covered up some text with my fingers so they could focus a sentence at a time. I finished each 1 on 1 with a positive statement, for example, Child A sounded out words more confidently this week and Child B added expression to their…

    In 1996 another program was financed by the government, it was called American Reads Challenge. Its purpose is to help kids learn to read but help provide an environment where the entire family can better their skills in literacy if it is needed. This program definition was a child may learn to read, but if the adult cannot perform the same skills, then the cycle can continue. So in the best interest of the family would be to break that cycle and that is what the program agenda. I find it rewarding to see the government doing what it can to solve the adult literacy problem in our country. The problem still has shown no real progress I believe it can be traced to the fact we have programs but none has stood out as the standard to follow each program is base on funding which has it objective. Within these programs, the similar goal is that reading will result in a person economic growth. This should not be the only focus the change of the family culture the importance of the whole family dynamic when it comes to education.…

    The skill that I think Rabel could benefit from learning is rhyming. I could tell that Rabel had never been taught this before because he had a very confused face, which let me know this was the first time he was seeing this. I know that his teacher does nursery rhymes with the students, but from what I have noticed she only does them in Spanish. However, I don’t believe that she has devoted any time to teaching students about rhyme explicitly. Another thing that Rabel did, which allowed me to support my prediction was that he kept on saying words that did not have the same ending of the words in the assessment. One example of this was when he the word was dog and he said “mom.” I now think that not only had he never seen this before, but that he was focusing on the middle sound instead of the ending sound. As I continued this assessment I was also able to learn more about Rabel’s literacy strengths. In the following assessment Rabel quickly caught on and was able to match the beginning sound to the word. I was very impressed by the way he was able to blend sounds together. For Ms. Tatis blending is key to getting kindergarteners to learn how to read. I could tell that this was one of the assessments that he enjoyed the most because at one point he was blurting out the answers without me even finishing demonstrating the…

    Creating and implementing effective lessons for a literacy learner who is struggling with reading and writing takes much effort and appropriate resources. Throughout the Literacy Development course, I have gained much insight and resources that have become valuable tools in addressing students’ literacy needs. Each week, I conducted lessons and activities that targeted the needs of many students, but my initial focus on was on one particular student. His individual reading level, spelling development, and writing abilities were analyzed and the recorded data was used to drive instruction. The student chosen for the literacy learner study was a second grade student who is a struggling reader and is served in Response to Intervention Tier 3 (Mesmer & Mesmer, 2008).…

    I used previous assessments of the three students to select the text that would gain their interest the most. The assessment in which I used to gage my lesson was the DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) which is a formal assessment that helps to determine independent reading levels (Tompkins, 2010). I also performed another assessment on the students recently that I used help to determine interest in reading. This assessment was called the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (McKenna, 1990).…

    There are several students with learning disabilities as well as English Language Learners. The teacher uses handouts with the moon phases already in order for those students who have learning disabilities. She also has a bilingual aid that helps her with ELL students, since I was observing and I am bilingual, the teacher asked if I could help the student by interpreting what needed to be done on the worksheet. I must admit, it was a wonderful experience. Although I needed to observe a lesson plan being taught, I was fortunate enough to actually get to work with students. I believe that with everything this teacher integrated into her science class, the unit was successful. The teacher provided many hands-on and group assignments which students really enjoyed and there was much encouragement and participation from both the teacher and students. It is amazing how students encourage one…

    I had always thought of myself as good with kids, so I decided to try participate in Tuesday Night Tutoring, a program hosted by my school aimed at helping children to read. I naively believed that I could give them a few tips I used when I first learned to read, and at the same time help them to absorb some information from the practice readings, but reality fell very far short of my hopes. I struggled both to convince the children that they were mispronouncing several words and that my pronunciations were any better, and my efforts to explain the meaning of various words only necessitated additional definitions. If they believed me, the children would usually forget everything within a week. I continued trying for almost twenty hours of reading tutoring,…

    During adolescence, I began reading and writing through a fundamental learning program called, "Hooked on Phonics." This program consisted of long hours spent reading short novels and writing elementary phrases which were commonly taught in the second and third grade. With the motto, "Improve your child's reading and writing skills in just four weeks!" I was bound to become the next Mark Twain. The method of this course specialized in the improvements of word acquisition rates as well as reading speed; however, it lacked in the area of teaching comprehension. At a young age, I was instilled with the dire need to be highly educated and although I was unable to experience a fun and adventurous childhood like many other children, I am grateful for being raised with a greater knowledge and wisdom than that ingrained in many.…

    The previous week in my practicum placement has been very rewarding. I have been able to start the fixed interval reinforcement schedule with my student. The increase in attentive listening skills during instruction over the last three weeks has resulted in increased learning. Discrete Trial Training (DTT) has been used with the student to teach colors and letter names, and the reinforcement used after each trail has been verbal praise. The student has struggled to learn colors and letters with traditional instruction, so DTT was used to break the skill into smaller parts giving opportunities for repeated practice. DTT allows for high numbers of trials to take place over a session, which provides the student with high amounts of practice with…

    On Wednesday May 19, 2010, I observed Mrs. Kristi Jones 6th grade Language Arts Class at Chase Middle School. Mrs. Jones has her students come into class and sit down and begin their Silent Sustained Reading for the first 15 minutes of class every day. Students have their choice of trade books to read which when they finish they take Accelerated Reader test to earn points. Depending on which language class she has point requirements range from 5 to 15 points per six weeks for students. However, Mrs. Jones told me that she does allow modifications for students qualify for them. She allows them to read lower grade books with fewer points and instead of testing she allows them to write summaries of the books.…
