    To start the literacy learner study, the student completed an oral reading fluency assessment. This was completed using DIBELS Next (Dynamic Measurement Group, 2013). This student read 22 words per minute with 73% accuracy. According to the DIBELS report, this student requires intensive instruction and scored in red on the assessment. Because the student scored in red, he had to complete an Informal Phonics Inventory (McKenna & Stahl, 2008, p. 125-131). This assessment’s data reveals the areas of strengths and weaknesses of the student’s phonics skills. Using the results from these assessments helped to determine the literacy learner’s independent, instructional, and frustration reading levels (Morris, 2014a). Knowing and understanding these levels helps to guide instructional design and implementation of effective and appropriate activities.…

    Speech is researched in terms of the speech production and speech perception of the sounds used in vocal language. Other research topics concern speech repetition, the ability to map heard spoken words into the vocalizations needed to recreated that plays a key role in the vocabulary expansion in children and speech errors. Several academic disciplines study these including acoustics, psychology, speech pathology, linguistics, cognitive science, communication studies, otolaryngology and computer science.

    Speech Language Pathology deals and works with a wide range of human communication and disorders, which include speech, language, cognitive communication, and swallowing. Communication problems can result from the following: stroke, brain injury, deterioration, developmental delays, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, cleft palate, voice pathology, mental retardation, hearing loss, and emotional problems. According to ADVANCE, a magazine for Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists, twenty-five to thirty-five percent of children suffer from a feeding disorder of some kind. There are over twenty disorders that can cause the problems that these certified pathologists work with. Speech Language Pathologists, or SLP’s, also work with people of all ages, infants to elderly, and can also prepare future individuals. SLP’s may manage agents, clinics, organizations, and private practices, depending on location and clientele. Pathologists may also enhance and engage in research that will further their knowledge of disorders, diseases, and treatment plans.…

    Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) working in the medical setting are typically members of rehabilitation teams, who work with individuals who have suffered from an illness, disease, or injury that may result in neurological deficits affecting speech, language, and/or cognition. Specifically, when working with the adult population, SLPs frequently assess and treat individuals diagnosed with a motor speech disorder called dysarthria. There are many types of dysarthria that can be characterized by deficits in strength, speed, range of movement, steadiness, tone, and overall accuracy (Duffy, 2013). Therefore, it is important that SLPs have an understanding of the neurological system, prominent characteristics, and know a variety of therapy…

    In comparison, when students are reading with a teacher they are more nerves and more likely to make mistakes when reading. Maisinger, Schwanenflugel, Bradley, and Stahl (2004) in their study concluded when students are given the opportunity to participate in partner reading they have higher self confidence based on the positive feedback they receive from their partner. The research also measured students ability to stay on task when given the responsibility of reading with a selective partner. Students did follow directions and worked according to the given instruction (pp. 134- 137). Helping students improve their fluency is helping them over come those challenging words they continue to struggle with. Students also need to build confidence when they are reading to avoid making mistakes when they are reading. They need to have a sense of confidence when they read to someone else, and by hearing how their partner read aloud will allow readers to have an reading expectation from someone their age. The study did not mentioned students with learning disabilies or ELL, but this can be adaptable to them by placing them with students who are closer to their reading level and not their grade reading level. The study making the connection of improving fluency with the use of peer assistance with help the four students participating in the literacy intervention by assisting the person who is reading. They will be able to help each other by reading those unknown words and listening to how to read in a normal reading paist.- Check if anything else needs to added to this…
