Targeted Skills The targeted skills for my reading toolkit are phonological awareness and alphabetic understanding through sound segmentation and blending. This lesson will address the Kindergarten standard of K.3B. In this standard, students use the relationships between letters and sounds, spelling patterns, and morphological analysis to decode written English. Students are expected to use knowledge of letter-sound relationships to decode regular words in text and independent of content. I

I’ve never put much thought into what defines reading or literacy. I know that they are life skills that are necessary for a person to have a functional place in the world. Growing up it was expected that you learned how to read, write, interpret, clarify, summarize, and question based on what is presented to you. It used to be based on textbooks, novels, and newsprint. As of now, I’ve lost count of the different ways that we can communicate. Reading is a process that involves word recognition

I can’t lie, reading isn’t one of my favorite things to do, but reading is a way of life. As I get older i’m finally realizing why it was so important for me to learn how to read,being in high school has definitely been a challenge learning big word and also as you get older you are exposed to more and more bigger words. Reading is something I have not been the greatest in since I was a little kid,I remember being a 6th grader on a 4th grader reading level when we took star reading test. Taking

Throughout my life, I have always had a passion for literacy, and reading and writing has always been a large part of who I am as a person. When I was younger, you wouldn’t be able to go a day without seeing a book in my hand of some sort. Literacy has always been a sort of escape for me. Any time that I was having issues I knew I could always turn to a book to take me somewhere else, or turn to writing and create new worlds of my own. Reading has always been a favorite of mine because of all of the creativity

Reading is a developmental process that must be nurtured—grades Pre-K through grade 3. In fact, according to research, by the end of the third grade, if students are still poor readers, he or she will most likely struggle to understand what is taught in later the grades—I can attest to this (Ramos & Murphey, 2016). Growing up, reading has always been a challenge for me. Today, I consider myself to be a struggling reader. At times, I find myself saying the following: “I love words and to write; however

Introduction I started reading at about 3 and a half years old. I would constantly have my parents tell me the sounds each letter made, pointing to fridge magnets, magazines, and anything else with words. I began to memorize the sounds that went with letters, which led me into being able to put the sounds together when the letters were strung together into a word. I learned how to speed read in 3rd grade, and would even annotate in the margins as if I was conversing with the characters and the author

Reading, the word many children dread to hear, and I happened to be one of those children. Reading to me was a boring activity, and I never seemed to understand why everyone enjoyed it so much. People would always tell me to try to envision a story; only one that I could see. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried to envision a story, I could never see it. I assumed you had to be very dexterous to be able to imagine something so spectacular. With that being said, I always viewed reading as a detriment

Reading I learned so much from the reading information that was given to us over the span this course. Everything that I received is so wonderful and exciting, but because of the mass information, I did feel a little overwhelmed. All of the information on mini lessons and guided reading was so valuable because I did not know much about it, but this course and the information provided really simplified it for me. I also really appreciate the information on the reading strategies, particularly the

Inception~ I have always loved reading books. Ever since I was a young child, I would stay up for hours reading books. I remember pouring over my stories until my dad’s alarm clock went off at 6 am and thinking, Oh crap, I did it again. I read my books over and over again, with each turn of page, my childhood ticked by.
