In Elementary School, there are many children that tend not to pay attention when teachers are giving the reading lessons so teachers argue with them without figuring out the precise reasons for that behavior. As teachers, we need to develop the abilities to catch up when children have any kind of learning problems, in this case a reading disability. If the reading disability is not detected at an early time, many children would probably be affected for the rest of their lives as adults. The reading process has the power that benefits millions of children around the world to increase awareness of the things that happen in our world and prepare them with a great foundation for academic excellence. The reading process is valuable for our knowledge base. Also, it develops the mind and a vital skill that will help children to find better jobs that require reading as part of job performance. If many children with reading disabilities have collaborative reading interventions, collaborative strategic readings (CSR), and reciprocal teaching, they would be able to better address reading problems. If teachers focus on providing these reading strategies to help students better perform in schools, there will not be many children with reading problems or who have so many puzzlements by the time they reach a certain age. For this variety of reasons, these collaborative reading interventions, collaborative strategic readings, and reciprocal teaching can help teachers identify children’s specific reading problems, but it is important to realize that struggling with vital reading skills in not a sign of low intelligence.

...ities. It also provides verifiable evidence that supports my points that contribute in helping children to gain reading comprehension in order to resolve reading difficulties at school and at home as well. Having proficient reading skills is critical to success. When students are not able to be competent readers, they are at risk for academic, behavioral, social, and emotional difficulties. Because all students have the right to be provided with educational knowledge, children with reading disabilities also have the potential to be successful academically and socially. By doing this, teachers can change the trajectory of those children who are at risk for failure in reading comprehension skills. All this information is based on effective researches and practices given to students to increase comprehension skills and better tackle their reading disabilities.

My previous conceptions and beliefs about reading have been challenged by looking at a different group of learners. Now, I have a more solid theoretical understanding understanding of the importance of reflective reading practices, in which the reader realize that reading is a complex process that is not determined for the fluency and “correctness” of matching the printed word with its expected and “appropriate” sound. I am also more aware of the importance of continuous support for struggling readers in post-secondary
Good morning! How many of you think that learning to read and write is necessary for children in order to become successful? Good. We are going to talk about the Reading Recovery Program that is available for students that have difficulty learning to read and write. Nine out of ten children that do not meet expectations in reading and writing in the first grade continue to fall behind in fourth grade. These children are likely to be retained, referred to special education, and drop out of school. With the help of Reading Recovery teachers, children accelerate their learning and meet academic expectations.
With such high numbers of adolescents falling below basic in reading, illiteracy is a battle that must be fought head on. The largest dilemma with the struggle is the number of variations that cause adolescents to become reluctant, unmotivated or struggling readers. Fortunately, a large number of strategies exist to encourage and strengthen readers of all ages, proving that adolescence is not a time to give up on faltering students. Rather, it is a time to evaluate and intervene in an effort to turn a reluctant reader into an avid one (or near enough). Ultimately, educators must learn to properly assess a student’s strengths and weaknesses (Curtis, 2009) and pair them with the proper intervention techniques. If one method does not work, countless others exist to take its place.
The first article, Improving Fluency in At-Risk Readers and Students with Learning Disabilities by Allinder, R., Dunse, L., Brunken, C., and Obermiller-Krolikowski, H. Allinder et. al. described fluency, what it is and how being a fluent reader is such an important skill to have because non-fluent readers use the majority of their brains decoding words, which prevents them from comprehending anything they just read. This article included information that being a fluent reader is necessary to comprehend what is read, but also that being able to comprehend what you read will increase the reader’s fluency (pg. 49). I cho...
For my community involvement project, I volunteered at Memminger Elementary School for a program called “Reading Partners.” The program focuses on helping children build strong literacy skills to carry with them into their academic careers. It requires the tutor to read to the student that has been assigned and in turn the student reads to the tutor. The program assists in teaching the students valuable reading skills. Being able to read is critical to a child’s educational success. The program works with more than 100 schools within seven states. The program is geared toward students of low-income families. The statistics for children’s literacy in the United States are astonishing. “In 2011, just thirty-four percent of the nation’s fourth graders in public school could read proficiently” (National Center for Education Statistics, 2011). The program itself has had exponential success. Principals and teacher have reported that “Reading Partners” has helped increase students’ reading levels. During my time at the program I accumulated twelve volunteer hours.
Talks about how the earlier reading disabilities are detected the better. With proper encouragement and tools students will have more motivation for reading throughout their lives.

As an elementary reading teacher, closing the gaps in reading is an area that I strive daily to help my students achieve. Finding strategies and interventions that will reach some of my lowest performing students is always a challenge. Even if this program would help a few children out, I think that it would be a beneficial program to try. It is important to remember that no matter how beneficial a program may seem, there is never going to be a program that works for all students. That is why as educators we must constantly strive to find new and engaging methods to help all of our children reach their full potential. I feel like this article was one that proved to be beneficial for the authors study and the findings helped some children with learning disabilities have another option for them to be successful.
Every child deserves a positive, safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment where they will grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. My role as an educator is to provide my students with this type of environment as well as an education that will help them succeed academically and become life long learners. It is the responsibility of a literacy educator to provide students with this type of environment, but also to provide instruction that will help students become successful readers and writers. There are numerous programs and philosophies about literacy and reading. Through years of experience and research, one begins to develop their own creative approach on teaching these skills. After looking at different programs and seeing the positive and negatives of each, an integrated and balanced approach of literacy seems to be the best way to teach the differing needs of each student.
Parents are often encouraged to read to their infants and toddlers as it has been proven that reading improves cognitive development and comprehension. Reading with children broadens their knowledge as well as developing pre-reading skills (Steinberg et. al, p.159). But what happens to children once they reach adolescence? How do literacy skills affect them? In this paper I will assess, analyze and provide an evidence based intervention to address a gap in the community based program called Reading is Fundamental (RIF).
Reading and writing is a key part of everyone’s life. There has been some encouraging levels of reading development in primary school assessments. According to the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy report (2015), 95.5% of students achieve at or above the national minimum standard of reading. It is important to know effective ways to teach reading so children can become active problem solvers to enable them to read for meaning or for fun. Over the years, there has been a big amount of research into the most effective ways to teach reading skills to students. There are some systematically taught key skills and strategies that help achieve these levels of reading. Some of these skills include phonological awareness, phonemic awareness,
Reading is an essential skill that needs to be addressed when dealing with students with disabilities. Reading is a skill that will be used for a student’s entire life. Therefore, it needs to be an important skill that is learned and used proficiently in order for a student to succeed in the real world. There are many techniques that educators can use to help improve a student’s reading comprehension. One of these skills that needs to be directly and explicitly taught is learning how to read fluently for comprehension. “To comprehend texts, the reader must be a fluent decoder and not a laborious, word-by-word reader” (Kameenui, 252). Comprehension can be difficult for students with learning disabilities because they tend to be the students that are reading below grade level. One strategy is to incorporate the student’s background knowledge into a lesson. This may require a bit of work, but it will help the students relate with the information being pres...
There is the science research associates corrective reading program (SRACRP), the accelerated reader (AR) program, the reading edge reading program; used in middle schools, the rewards and rewards plus program, and scholastic’s read 180 program. All but one of these programs are available to students starting in grade three. Many of these programs are for students who have trouble identifying words, have poor thinking skills, do not follow directions well, and lack the vocabulary and background knowledge necessary to understand what they read. These programs are explicit instruction in decoding, reading strategies, fluency and comprehension. Students that undergo intensive, explicit, research based instruction in their area of need are able to make annual gains beyond that of their developing peers. Decoding is the emphasis of elementary schools, with no guarantee that students will comprehend what they read. Many students that read fluently are still unable to comprehend well. Teachers share concerns that many of these students have surpassed the age where there can be no further gains in reading skills and remediation may not be as effective
Many students have a hard time when it comes to reading. There are many reading inventions that can help students out. Reading inventions are strategies that help students who are having trouble reading. The interventions are techniques that can be used to assist in one on ones with students or working in small groups to help students become a better reader. Hannah is a student who seems to be struggling with many independent reading assignments. There can be many reasons that Hannah is struggling with the independent reading assignments. One of the reasons that Hannah can be struggling with is reading comprehension while she is reading on her on. Reading comprehension is when students are able to read something, they are able to process it and they are able to understand what the text is saying. According to article Evidence-based early reading practices within a response to intervention system, it was mentioned that research strategies that can use to help reading comprehension can include of activating the student’s background knowledge of the text, the teacher can have questions that the student answer while reading the text, having students draw conclusions from the text, having
