At this point, I think it depends on what are your reading interests and how reading meets your interpretation skills to be understood or to get you involved on its field. I have always been a thinker, but throughout my coursework, I have sharpened my critical analysis skills and I like to read more books than I did before. First time that I started to read it was in my first grade. I was so excited at the time and I felt like a hero. My first teacher, Luljeta, was a big help to put me in the track.
It was late September, and I was in second grade when I realized that I couldn’t read. This had a big impact on me because I felt stupid and cried most days after school. Reading affects everyone's life much more than they realize. Learning how to read was an amazing thing to happen in my life. I finally felt like a normal child once I knew how to read and could keep up with the class.
Then by Friday the students were to write an additional paragraph but in a quiz manner and then she had another student read the essay out loud checking for the proper content from what they had just studied.</P> | * | * | * 11. | * Assess Leslie's teaching using the effective teaching characteristics outlined in Figure 11.1. * Your Answer: | * First of all Leslie is an English teacher and she presented two English paragraphs to her students, one being written with proper English grammar and the second paragraph written with in proper grammar.

PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS 1 Running Head: PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS 1 Phonological Awareness PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS 2 Phonological Awareness (PA) has been a buzz word in preschool and elementary schools within the last decade. This attention is merited. Study after study has consistently linked the level of PA a child possesses prior to entering school to their ability to learn how to read and to their later reading development (Love and Reilly, 2007.) Research also revealed that PA was an essential skill for not only learning to read but also to write, and correctly spell. When PA has been part of a literacy program it has not only impacted future reading scores of children with written and oral language difficulties, it has also improved scores of children who have no problems with language (Shaywitz & Shaywitz, 2004, Schuele & Bondreau, 2008.)
It wasn’t until I started first grade that I finally started to appreciate some of my mother’s hard work. At the beginning of the year, everyone had to take a reading level test. I did well. I was able to use my reading skills. I would read to the class, I would read to my parents, I would read to my grandma, I would read to my brother and sister and I would read to my dog.
Jim Keenan English 101 It Puts The Lotion In The Basket As most kids gradually start to read more and more as they mature, I was one of the few who didn't learn to enjoy reading until senior year of highschool. The teachings of Tom Alessandri were the sole cause of my newfound appreciation for literature. All it takes is the inspiration of one individual to turn someone onto reading and writing. Tom Alessandri was the last highschool English teacher I had, taking his Science Fiction & Horror Literature class. While many people would be discouraged by the title of the class alone, I was intrigued and immediately signed up.
I was told that when you become a junior that’s when everything starts to get harder and you have to buckle down meaning no time for friends and really no weekend because it was going to require a lot of work, but I was sure that if I got through middle school, 9th and 10th grade that it would be no different than any other grade level class that I had taken already and passed. I was receiving an assignment in all classes to complete during the summer. I started the work, but it was so boring that I never finished the work. As time went on, my grades affected me, so I had to get tutoring if I wanted to be able to play football in the upcoming season. As I spent more time trying to bring up my grade in one class, my grades began to suffer in my other classes.
I took the comments, criticism, and suggestions professor Underwood gave me on previous papers and put them into this paper. I also began to see changes within my grade because last semester my first rough draft grade was a C I believe but, this semester my rough draft grade was an A. When it comes to the quizzes, last semester online quizzes where questions based on the readings that we were covering. I never had a problem with these because as long as I read the required material I did really well on those
In tenth grade I turned in a paper and I failed badly this crushed me. I thought I was going to at least make a C and I made a F. I talked to my teacher Mrs. Crutchfield and she told me she would let me do my paper over. This time I took my time went over my work and glanced through the different writing techniques and I passed with a eighty-five. I became aware that with practice I got better and faster at writing cause writing is like a exercise. It’s easier to write when you’re interested in what you’re writing about.
Some of my worst days arise from procrastination and underestimating the extent of my homework. One instance in particular has taught me to do at least ninety-nine percent of homework at home as well as to remember what my homework actually was. On some days, I get a little lazy and do my homework of my last few class periods during my first few class periods. This was possible last year when my first few classes were the easiest classes I had all day, during which time I would usually do my homework for history or chemistry and sometimes both if I was feeling exceptionally tired or soporific the day before. Because chemistry could be done at lunch, I usually had to get history out of the way.
