    Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of what the writer is communicating and make the most of that information. That’s why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without them the reader cannot gather any information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life (Marshall).…

    Reading means the cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic message. How does a person that doesn’t know how to read make it through one day? Being literate is one of the most important skills to have. It’s something that is needed on a day to day basis. In the article “Superman and me” by Sherman Alexie, he shares his story about how he became a great reader and writer. He shows how important is to be literate in today’s society. While I recognized some differences to Sherman Alexie’s story to literacy at home, but I can identify myself with some parts of hs story at school.…

    At the turn of the millennium, hurricanes, tropical storms, and dramatic temperatures ruled planet Earth. In the 2004 Hurricane season, four storms affected Florida which is the only time in recorded history a catastrophe like this has happened. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc in the New Orleans area, bringing over one hundred billion dollars of damages; making thousands of people homeless, mostly minorities, and killing many others. The Federal Government, unprepared for this unforeseen tragedy, was slow to respond, leaving people on rooftops begging for help, with no sustenance for survival. Shelby Steele, a research fellow and political commentator, from “Witness: Blacks, Whites, and the Politics of Shame in America,” The Wall Street Journal, doesn’t blame the Federal Government for the catastrophic results the hurricane had on minorities, mostly African Americans. Steele believes the hurricane exposed the underdevelopment of African American people as a society, and should take this as an opportunity to believe them. Other people, such as professor of Political Science, Adolph Reed, and professor of sociology Stephen Steinberg, at the University of Pennsylvania and Queens College respectively , believe Hurricane Katrina did expose racism in the America. I, personally agree with Reed and Steinberg, Hurricane Katrina did expose racism in America based on the responses from people high in power, the slow response of the U.S. Federal, government, and future projects for the New Orleans area.…

    I currently approach the reading in the course very cautiously. When reading any of the material in or out of class, I take my time. It is important to do so because by going to quick, there is a chance of missing some of the material. By reading slowly I can assure myself that I have better chance of taking in more information. Also by removing myself from any distractions, I can concentrate harder on the things that I am reading. Preparing for my reading sessions in advance helps to optimize my chance of greater concentration on my reading materials.…

    How I Learn to Read

    It was a big process in order for me to start reading, but I think that the way I learned how to read was by learning the Alphabet at first; because in order to start reading I had to be able to recognize the letters I was trying to read. After I had mastered the alphabet I started practicing with high frequency words. These words were words that we were seeing in our school books, homework, reading, and lectures. These words were placed in small sentence and short stories that the teacher gave us to take home and we had to focus on the word or letter with the high frequency. At first, we did this for a week without a test or the teacher evaluating us, because they were words that we saw everyday in our books. In addition, to what we were seeing went in levels and themes and those themes or levels were more difficulty as we went on. Then, the teacher started counting the words we read in 5 minutes in order to see our progress. This was every Friday, because he had to read short stories related to the theme of the high frequency learning process given by the instructor. We were also given homework that consisted in reading at home for ten minutes every day and that was also check on Friday. While we were doing this we were also blending sounds practicing our pronunciation and having new vocabulary.…

    Although I don’t remember exactly how I learned to read, I guess it sort of came to me as a little child when my parents used to read me prayers and stories from the Bible. In middle school, reading was essential in getting a good grade for English with the "Accelerated Reader" system being implemented at our school. Basically, it was a online program where you would be able to take tests on books once you have read them, and each book had a certain amount of points based on its difficulty and length. Every semester, you needed to have a certain amount of points in order to get an A in English, and I always made sure too reach the point goal every year. My parents are the main reason of my success, and I will be forever thankful for the books they made me read and also for my success of…

    For me learning to read was an extensive and boring experience; I took reading for granted and never suspected of the great knowledge that was hidden in every book, I thought was useless; the revelation came afterwards. It all started at home. I was about to be five years old and my mom was teaching me how to write my name. In my head I understood nothing of what I wrote but as far as I know that was my name, which would follow me the rest of my life.…
