The Broca’s area is the region in the brain which functions in the production of language. Damage to this area would lead Savannah unable to reach her full potential of grasping the language of Japanese. Phonemes are the smallest unit of meaning in language. If Savannah understands the phonemes of Japanese‚ she will be able to perform better on her exam. Modeling is a learning method in which someone imitates; Savannah can model her

READING FLUENCY INTRODUCTION Reading fluency is the ability to read connected text rapidly‚ effortlessly and automatically (Hook & Jones‚ 2004; Meyer‚ 2002). Readers must develop fluency to make the bridge from word recognition to reading comprehension (Jenkins‚ Fuchs‚ van den Broek‚ Espin & Deno‚ 2003). It is essential for all students to read fluently as they are “learning to read” up to Grade 3‚ but beginning in Grade 4‚ they are “reading to learn” (Chall‚ 1983). Middle school students represent

front of them‚ they must be able to understand language. Phonological representations are taken to mean the encoding of speech sounds and word recognition and the ability to perceive and manipulate the sounds of spoken words. Language is made up of phonemes‚ rimes‚ and syllables which are the basic units of speech. Furthermore‚ if a child has not gotten the phonics in place then that will affect their ability to read properly as they cannot hear the beginnings and ends of the words. They therefore‚

In common practice‚ it is aimed to preserve the phonemes (cf. Low 2008‚ 13; Golomb 2005‚ 127). In every language‚ there are two basic classes of phonemes: vowels and consonants (Girdenis 2014‚ 113). Golomb (2005‚ 127) notes that the maximum preservation of phonemes is often impossible due to the differences of languages. Thus‚ when analysing the characteristics of singability it is helpful to find out whether
