We also took notes during our reading and discussed our findings with the class as a whole. After reading, we completed…

    A person who faces such challenges when it comes to learning how to read can best tell his or her story on the success of reaching such an accomplishment. Having someone like that to speak can be, and inspiration to those who are willing but yet lack the desire to learn. It is necessary to give those in need a role model who was once just like them but was able to reach their educational goals (Belzer, 2002). With the help of those individuals who face adult literacy, they can provide a service to educators on the best way to teach…

    I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully, from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft, I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter, more like one lowercase “l” after another, to the next.
