...AED/202 Reading and Writing Development Sandy Mackey June 28, 2013 Kristen Weiss Reading and Writing Development As a future educator I believe that reading and writing is the utmost import thing in a child’s education. Without these two skills a child will not be able to succeed in school. For my essay, I chose two age groups that I want to teach; middle childhood, ages six through ten, and early adolescence, ages ten through 14. The reason I chose these two developmental ages is because I believe that children enjoy learning; they are like sponges, always trying to absorb as much as possible. The reading development in middle childhood children and early adolescent childhood children seem somewhat different. Middle childhood children start by identifying letters and matching letters with individual sounds, knowing what a word is, and interpreting spaces and punctuation are the earliest building blocks for reading skills (www.education.com). Early adolescent childhood children, usually do not have an issue with reading; they can identify vocabulary words in a book and sound out the words. Children of this stage usually enjoy reading. Writing skills for both middle and early adolescent children develop in the same way as their reading skills. Middle childhood children are more focused on what they are writing, their spelling, spacing, punctuation, and coherence has improved (www.education.com). As for the early adolescent children...

Write a 100- to 150-word response to each of the following questions: • How do you currently approach the weekly readings in the course? Currently my approach is a bit lazy. I will skim through each chapter and pick out the important parts. Those parts I will read, after reading a question I will go back to the reading and re read what I need to. I think I might have to reconfigure my approach and just read through the material the first time, take notes and use highlighting methods to comprehend the readings more. I find that the readings have been fairly easy so far and that may be giving me a false sense of confidence, so rather than being hit by surprise later I will be proactive and start using these methods now. • How might you incorporate three of the suggestions covered this week into your study time? I learned a lot about reading strategies and the best one I see that can be incorporated immediately is highlighting key sentences or phrases.

When I improve this skill I will be able to recall more information...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Reading is a way of life. We do reading in our day to day activities, from boarding the bus with the designated signboard to deciphering warning signs in the roads, business letters, and correspondence in the offices schools and even in our own homes. We need reading skills in cooking, reading the labels and instructions and even following directions in using our household gadgets. Reading is a complex process between a reader and a text. (Wedgewood J. 2009). It is simple yet difficult task because it is composed of many interconnected sub-skills that once mastered will make reading flow easily as normal as breathing. As Richard Steele had enunciated, “Reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body.” Another important aspect of Reading is that between the written text and the reader, there should be interaction. This interaction is called comprehension. It is a phase of reading where after decoding the text people react to it. Hence, reading without the concept of understanding is not reading but vocalizing. Putting it simply, reading should have comprehension. Unfortunately, poor comprehension is the prevalent disease of learners today. Thus, the researcher has initiated this action research to show the importance of encouraging the mastery of reading. Make everyone aware of it as an important tool to be incorporated in all subjects. Through this Reading Remedial Program, development of comprehension will be enhanced with activities focusing...

...Teacher Tip #1 Students can record themselves reading a book from their home computer. Have them record a favorite story with bells or dings to signal page turning (the Next button) and allow younger siblings to listen to the read-aloud while following along. Teacher Tip #2 When students have read and listened to all books in their assignment/level, assign a running record for a Benchmark Book or Benchmark Passage to determine student accuracy and readiness to move to the next level. (If Raz-Kids is used during centers, have the student record their reading.) Teacher Tip #3 Use the Assignment report to see at a glance how much of the current assignment a student has completed and whether it may be time to assess a student's reading progress. Teacher Tip #4 Giving students access to the Book Room will help build listening comprehension, increased awareness of differing text structures, and broader vocabulary as students listen to books at higher levels. Teacher Tip #5 Play Raz-Kids songs on an interactive whiteboard during class transitions, and challenge students to be cleaned up and in their seats or in line before the song is complete. Teacher Tip #6 Use the correlation chart to help determine which level of books to assign to a student based on their grade or known guided-reading level. Teacher Tip #7 Include a date in a custom assignment title as a reminder of when a student was first given a particular assignment or when resources were updated. ...

There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones, and queens. Only one queen bee can live in each hive. If she is lost or dead, the other bees will stop their work. Bees are very wise and busy little creatures. They all join together to build cells of wax for their honey. Each bee takes its proper place and does its own work. Some go out and gather honey from the flowers; others stay at home and work inside the hive. The cells which they build are all of one shape and size, and no room is left between them. The cells are not round. They have six sides. Did you ever look into a glass hive to see the bees while at work? It is pleasant to see how busy they always are. But the drones do not work.

...Reading Comprehension 8 1. Why is it important for an organization to have effective communication? Communication is an asset in making sure that what you want is being passed on correctly to lower employees as well as confirming any information to those above you. It’s also an easy way in keeping up with what, where, and how your staff is doing. 2. Discuss the pros and cons of the grapevine. The grapevine is a useful tool in keeping an informal eye on what may be going on but information may not be totally accurate so you cannot depend on any information that you obtain from it. 3. How can supervisors develop high levels of credibility among their employees? By not only talking or writing but also acting on what it is that they are needing performed. 4. If you are unable to complete a project on schedule, is it preferable to inform your boss about it immediately or to wait until it is done and then provide a detailed explanation? It is best to inform your boss as soon as you realize the project will be behind schedule. You want to avoid any unnecessary negative “surprises.” 5. With all this emphasis on communication, isn’t there a danger of overcommunicating? Is it ever possible to overcommunicate? Yes there is a risk to overcommunicating, these risks can occur among multiple managers repeating the same information over and over again. This can cause employees to no longer have interest, respect, or effort to perform the required...
