I think that home visits with children and their families, supports literacy learning in the classroom and strengthens school/home partnerships. You really learn so much just from doing one home visit with a child. You not only learn things about children that you never would have known but you also learn their families and what they believe in. You get to see where the child comes from; and by knowing things like this, it can help you understand the child in the classroom more. You can also see if the children have any books at home.
Anisha Spellman Benchmark Assessment: Language Arts Unit Plan Grand Canyon University: EED-525 November 27, 2013 “Learning to read and reading to learn” is a quote that one of the schools in my district uses to help motivate reading in all students and their families. I believe reading is an important aspect of all lives. What exactly would the world be like without the reading? It is crucial that we teach this to all of the little children while they are young and trying to learn. The more they practice and the more teachers and parents instill this in their minds, the better they will become.

Philosophy of Literacy Instruction I believe that Tier I literacy instruction should be delivered in such a way that the students are nurtured to live lives in which reading and writing is an integral part. I want children to see writing as a powerful way to communicate and understand the thoughts they are developing in and out of school. I also believe that there is no one best way to mentor children into becoming lifelong readers and writers. I believe that children should have daily opportunities to read and write. I believe that teaching reading and writing begins with helping children want the life of a reader and writer.
Seeing her read so much always gave me the thought that reading was good for the mind and soul! I never got to really ask her what it was about reading that she loved so much, and she passed away my senior year of high school, but the memories of her reading will always be with me. {RIP Mom 12-26-2007} Reading as a child provided the perfect time to cuddle up with mom or dad, and verbalize my newly learned knowledge as a kid. My absolute favorite thing to read as a youngster was Dr. Suess. The pictures and the silly stories kept me interested and wanting to read more.

I know for a fact that my Grandma is also what makes reading so easy for me. Almost as if it’s a second nature! Whenever I become stuck or draw a blank when writing an essay I like to give my grandma a call and she always does know the right thing to say or other terms write. I also then thank her for giving up that time when I was younger for teaching me how to read and how to write. If it wasn’t for that time spent as a young kid living with my Grandparents, reading and writing, I honestly don’t know where I would be as far as writing, reading, or even as far as attending Purdue Calumet University.
My Literacy My childhood was filled with a lot of practice and repetition of reading and writing. My acquisition of language was about as normal as it can get. I would say it was very similar to the Maintown Ways. I can remember seeing my parents reading the paper or being put to bed and getting read stories. I was flooded with language.
Chris believed that money made people cautious and that we live in a very consumable society. Things weren’t perfect in the family, Chris and his sister didn’t have an easy time and this is one of the sources that developed Chris’s inferiority complex. He didn’t like to be around people, but when he was, he was good at it. At one point, Chris says that he would maybe consider writing a book after his adventure to the wild. Chris loved books and found company in the characters in the books he loved, his favored author was Jack London who also hoboed around the country and returned to school at the age of 19.
And even before that my mother would read to me every night before I go to sleep. She would have this big book filled with Mother Goose nursery rhymes and would read that along with some other books. When I started to talk my parents taught me the alphabet which seemed pretty easy. It wasn’t long before I could say the entire alphabet on my own. The next thing my parents taught me was to put the letters and sounds together to
