Boweman's Well-Arrested Literacy
Based on his studies, Boweman have determined that effective educators support a well-adjusted literacy curriculum that includes all aspects of the curriculum approach, skills, and instructions. Without these methods, students would have a difficult time adjusting and learning their concept in literacy. Although there are a plethora of strategies and information in regards to best practices that have been developed for English language learners, if administrators and educators do not understand the concept, students will continue to struggle with reading during their early grades that tend to leading them to further deficits in vocabulary, concepts, and knowledge of text structure (p.

    Elementary Pedagogical Model

    This pedagogical model comparison project will center round elementary literacy, which includes pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Pedagogy, as defined by Watson and Wildy (2014), is the “set of instructional techniques and strategies which enable learning to take place and provide opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and dispositions” (p. 83). It is important to recognize that literacy acquisition in the early elementary grades focuses on children learning the foundational skills required to engage meaningfully with text. Watson & Wildy (2014) suggest, “A variety of pedagogical methods are employed by early childhood (EC) educators to maximize learning opportunities” (p. 83). Most literacy instruction during…

    Creating and implementing effective lessons for a literacy learner who is struggling with reading and writing takes much effort and appropriate resources. Throughout the Literacy Development course, I have gained much insight and resources that have become valuable tools in addressing students’ literacy needs. Each week, I conducted lessons and activities that targeted the needs of many students, but my initial focus on was on one particular student. His individual reading level, spelling development, and writing abilities were analyzed and the recorded data was used to drive instruction. The student chosen for the literacy learner study was a second grade student who is a struggling reader and is served in Response to Intervention Tier 3 (Mesmer & Mesmer, 2008).…

    Educating and guiding students to read and become fluent readers is a life changing experience for the students. Increasing literacy skills in students prepares them for academic and professional careers. Educators must reflect on their own teaching practices and implementation of intervention strategies to meet the needs of all children while taking into account of their individual reading readiness: emergent, beginner, and transitional. As educators are implementing strategies and teaching practices, they are creating a literate environment that is conducive to all readers.…

    Literacies in Context

    EDEE 400 – Assignment 1 Literacy in schools today not only involves teaching students to read and write, but is also heavily focused on giving students the necessary vocabulary and skills to understand different text types according to the key learning areas (KLAs) they are undertaking. While traditional ideas of literacy often ignored the diverse needs of students, contemporary notions of literacy are constantly evolving in response to changes in situational and social or cultural contexts (UNE, 2012a, p.5; Freebody, 2007, p8-­‐10). This now means that in order for teachers to be successful educators they must have a comprehensive understanding of the literacy demands across the subjects they teach as well as being able to explicitly introduce students into the discourse of each teaching area (Cornish & Gardner, 2009, p.245-­‐246; Derewianka & Jones, 2012, p.3; Freebody, 2007, p.9).…

    Case Study Research Report

    • 4698 Words
    • 19 Pages

    The purpose of this study is to find ways to help a child improve their reading test scores. How is it that a child who reads two grades above their level cannot perform well when it comes to taking state assessments? Is it the teacher or is the child playing around when it comes to taking tests? Maybe the child can read really well but does not comprehend what they read and they get nervous during the test, which would also cause them to score low. This child was chosen because he reads at least two to three levels above his grade, but on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test he scored below what he was expected to score. I noticed that he had the most trouble in the area of Reading Application. This area consists of main idea, identifying the author’s purpose, making inferences, cause and effect, and compare and contrast. Tutoring sessions will be used to work with each of the specific parts of reading application to see if the student can improve his test scores. This child seems to be exhibiting from some sort of problem in the area of reading, and being the successful educator, this research will help to find a solution to this problem.…

    Reading Recovery Summary

    • 687 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The article describes, in brief, the reading intervention program known as Reading Recovery. Reading Recovery is a non-profit program which, contrary to the belief of some school administrators, is more cost effective because of its short duration and its long term gains for students. The goal of the program is described as providing accelerated learning (without exception) for first grade children who are falling far below their classmates in reading and writing. Completing the 12-20-week program allows students to progress and catch up to their peers, moving from the bottom of the class to within the class average. The research shows that children who have benefited from intervention with Reading Recovery continue to experience success moving forward which in turn breaks the potential cycle of failure. Children are…

    My Pursuit Of Literacy

    When you hear the word literacy what comes to mind? Do you think of words or school or horrible comprehension tests? When I hear the word literacy none of the above is what comes to my mind. I think of when I was young, no more than five, and I would sit on my grandmother’s warm lap wrapped up in her arms that seemed to protect me from any and everything while she read to me. I think of the struggle and the many trials it took to spell and write my own name, but also relishing in the sense of accomplishment I felt. I think of the times I read along to books my mother would read to my sisters and me until I could read them on my own. Finally, I think of the smiles and proud looks on my parents’ and grandparents’ faces when ever I would show…

    The efforts to increase literacy in America worked, we currently live in a society where there are more citizens are able to read than during the colonial era. The methods which was used to focus the Bible on communities was not as affective. Libraries are more informed with new technology from the 21st century. Citizens are able to access libraries in their communities because of the taxes that are paid to invest in their communities. Since the increase of literacy in the communities it allowed for all communities to have access. The philosophy that only the elite should have access to the public libraries does not apply any longer. Farmers, now use technology to gather more assistance from state and local governments.
