...the name of Rudolf Flesh did a comprehensive and in debt study on this issue. Mr. Flesh realized that the United States had a very high illiteracy rate and major reading problem and how television had a major effect on an individual’s reading ability. He surmised that, television instilled learning of memorization by word association. Remember Sesame Street. His answer the issue was phonic or phonetics, with the understanding that comprehension would come later. Remember Hooked on Phonics. In America today, most children are beginning or trying to talk around the age of two years. This is a time when language skills are just starting to develop. Even though it usually too early of an age to expect a child to read, there is no reason why the parent cannot start the reading process by reading aloud to them. Instilling reading into a child’s life can prove to be one of the most valuable skills that they will ever learn. (http://www.mannmuseum.com n.d) William and Johnson conducted an experiment to test a hypothesis or theory as to whether perceptual skills training will enhance reading performance of adolescence in school age children. As a basis for their study these adolescence where placed into three experimental groups of different categories. They are as follows: 1st. Remedial reading instructions, 2nd Reading instructions with spatial skills training and 3rd untreated control group. The study infers that, although there is a potential suggested association between basic...

...[pic] JPPSS ELA COURSE GUIDE 2011-2012 ENGLISH I The JPPSS Instructional Sequence Guides are aligned with the LA Comprehensive Curriculum. JPPSS Implementation of Activities in the Classroom Incorporation of activities into lesson plans is critical to the successful implementation of the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum. The Comprehensive Curriculum indicates one way to align instruction with Louisiana standards, benchmarks, and grade-level expectations. The curriculum is aligned with state content standards, as defined by grade-level expectations (GLEs), and organized into coherent, time-bound units with sample activities and classroom assessments to guide teaching and learning. The units in the curriculum have been arranged so that the content to be assessed will be taught before the state testing dates. While teachers may substitute equivalent activities and assessments based on the instructional needs, learning styles, and interests of their students, the Comprehensive Curriculum should be a primary resource when planning instruction. Grade level expectations—not the textbook—should determine the content to be taught. Textbooks and other instructional materials should be used as resource in teaching the grade level expectations...

...express themselves through publicly released literature, and these two essays have successfully achieved to have common similarities and unique differences. For example, both authors have the same interpretation for literacy, and literacy to them means to overcome negativity and prevail from hate from another individual that shows them injustice. For differences, Franklin’s essay was to learn how to read (and also write), while Gloria’s essay was about having to speaking English and suppressing her various styles of the Spanish language. After reading this fabulous essay, you will understand why the authors chose their topics, their relation to each other, and why they are different. Douglass was raised a black male slave in the 1840’s. For slaves, reading and writing was not acceptable because the man did not want black people to have any sense of resisting slavery. Although that rule was in effect, Douglass found a way to get around that law. He would sneak magazines and newspapers to read, and he was taught how to read and write by his mistress and some “little white boys”, who he’d convert into teachers. Most thought that “...education and slavery were incompatible with each other” (347), but Douglas proved them wrong, thus the definition of literacy to him is to overcome the hate that African Americans had (in that time) and show that he’s more than just slave material. I thought this was interesting because of his sense of rebellion, and because of that let him gain the knowledge...

...obvious devastations of an illiterate society that are overlooked daily, I found it easy to relate to article because Kozol listed concerns in a manner that is easy to understand because most of us relate to someone who fits at least one of the scenario. Human Cost of an Illiterate Society was an enjoyable read because it was easy for me to relate to some of the examples that were given. When reading this publication, I am able to easily follow and understand the content and compare it to incidents or observations that I have encountered in my own life experiences. Illiterate citizens seldom vote touches a nerve in me because I know the importance of voting in order to have a voice in society. Health issues that can become life or death situations if a person is unable to read the instruction on medications or warning labels on daily used products, awaken a great concern within me. I like the fact that Kozol used such examples that made it easy to get a virtual image of what we take for granted, but is crucially important in the lives of everyone. What I didn’t like in this reading is that Kozol showed only one side of the issue at hand. I am curious to know...

In spanish class especially when i joined IB spanish i was able to read books writing my native spanish speaking authors. From all the books we read, i really enjoyed reading a book called “Una Cronica de una Muerte Anunciada” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I enjoyed this book because i was able to learn diverse cultural,linguistic and artistic expressions. Even Though Spanish is my first language, reading a book writing by an author from Colombia exposed me to a new type of spanish i had never encountered before. It also helped me expand my lexicon in spanish, since Gabriel Garcia Marquez used a lot of really advanced words i had never heard before....

...Reading Education in the Philippines Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 Filipinos have been fighting for their rights to education. Our forefathers struggled just so they would be allowed to read and write – to be educated. Today we have much more freedom than our lolos and lolas. We now have more sovereignty to study and learn. However, not every Filipino has the ability and capacity to cherish this freedom to read and write. Many factors constrain others from fully enjoying the said right. In the Philippines, education, particularly, reading education is impaired by poverty, technology, and lack of motivation and inspiration. Many Filipinos are unable to read because of their socio-economic status. Some families do not have enough money to send their children to school; thus the children grow up without knowing how to read and write. Some families are a little bit blessed that they are able to send their children to a community/public school; however, their children learn basic reading in a very slow pace since such school does not have enough teachers and enough up-to-date reading materials in good condition. Indeed, not all Filipino families have the capacity to enter a well-funded school with competent reading teachers and lots of books to read. In addition, reading also constantly competes with modern technology in the country. Instead of reading books, novels, or stories, some children choose to play online games nowadays. Instead of grabbing a book, some children...

...in their child’s class. * I believe in making my lessons authentic. For example, when teaching a lesson about addition with money, use a menu from one of the local restaurants and have the students “order” food and add up what their bill would be. * I believe in using a variety of teaching techniques. There are many different ways of learning and every child learns things differently. One example of how I have done this in my classroom was how I taught the students the process of a bill becoming a law. The students were introduced to the process through reading and discussion. During the next lesson the students role-played the Michigan government. The members of the house and the senate worked to pass a bill that was then signed by the governor. * I believe in using a variety of assessment techniques. The four main types of assessment that I use are: individual projects or exhibition, one-on-one oral tests or interviews (i.e. for reading), portfolios, and the occasional quiz. A student, who does not do well on...

...Darsh Sandhu Week 5 Essay # 3 Reading essay The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society by Jonathan Kozol rekindles the candle of the horrors of illiteracy within us, a candle that has been extinguished by our hectic lives. As he quotes James Madison’s statement, “A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives”, these words make us think about ourselves and the society around us. A country is run by Government. That Government is chosen by people. And one third of them, who chose the government cannot read or write, and has no knowledge of the policies they offer to implement, their political background, and their achievements. This is really not a picture of democracy we have in our mind. All an illiterate person depends upon for knowledge of Presidential candidates is audio and visual media. Often they are misguided by the candidates and are exploited on the basis of race, culture, and religion. Besides politics, Kozol points towards many difficulties an illiterate person faces in daily life. Let’s just start with the basic necessities of life, food and shelter. Even having means to buy it, an illiterate person cannot read the brands, labels and instructions on the food packing. All...
