Most people would probably have trouble with trying to remember how they learned to read. I would have to say that I am a person who loves to read and I think that is it really an amazing thing.

They are able to think in logical and rational ways. At this age they understand that others may hold opinions and have feelings that are different from their own. Academically, children around the age of six can now read and write indepently with little help and are ready to begin more complex tasks.

By now they are enjoying taking on new roles and responsibilities, but still require guideness from adults.
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.
The use of the day planner promotes self-motivation because the students are learning how to manage their time in school and at home to be able to complete their homework. This homework policy would be very useful in a second grade classroom because it encourages self-motivation as they can check off homework assignments when they get done.

As per the policy, sometimes homework assignments are clearly written on a whiteboard devoted specifically to homework. Other times the
I believe that teaching reading and writing begins with helping children want the life of a reader and writer. In order to accomplish this goal of developing lifelong readers and writers, I believe it is my responsibility to keep learning about proven research-based literacy programs. I believe that even in Tier I literacy instruction the teacher has the responsibility to differentiate instruction so that the vast array of learning styles and abilities present in the classroom will be nurtured. I believe that the most important part of literacy instruction, whether it be reading or writing, is communication. In reading, the communication is accomplished with strong comprehension skills that involve active participation of the reader as he interacts with the author to create meaning for himself.
It also important because writing in the early years’ service is important because it allows for the integration of emergent literacy and language skills. The role of the early years is to give children plenty of opportunity to develop skills which are vital for writing, fine motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination and manipulative skills Children need to receive and coordinate correct information when developing pre-writing skills. Here are some suggestions to help children to develop their pre writing skills. Things like table top activities, teach new skills, show your child how it's done, repeat the movements over and over again, and provide some physical direction so they can feel how to perform the necessary movements.

How to Teach Autistic Kids to Read Teaching autistic children reading skills is an important but sometimes frustrating job. If you have been trying to teach an autistic child to read with little or no success, or if you are thinking about starting to teach an autistic child to read, this article can give you some fresh ideas. Instructions Take a good inventory of how the child learns and what makes the child overwhelmed. Many children with autism spectrum disorders can be overwhelmed by their senses, whether it's from bright colors, strong smells or even noise. You must know the child's favorite things; this can be the key to teaching the child to read.
Daily exposure to stories helps children to learn the structure and style of a story, particularly learning stories off by heart and being read to by a teacher. In turn this will improve their own story and poem writing as the structure and style will become second nature to them. What has been written already on this research topic? The National Strategy ‘Talk for Writing’ is based on this but I don’t feel that it fully engages/enthuses teachers in the importance of daily storytelling or whether it has had a positive impact on Literacy learning in the classroom. 4.
Professor Kamerman ENG 301 28 June 2009 Accelerated Reader Program: Benefit or Detriment Reading is vital to literacy; knowing how to read is necessary and assures success in most fields of work. Reading helps with writing as well; a person who reads more than they play games or watch television will find it much easier to come up with the words necessary to express their thoughts and ideas in writing. Teaching children to read is the beginning to providing them with the tools they need for a successful life, academically and in their careers. The purpose here is to explore the Accelerated Reader/Reading Renaissance (AR/RR) program and discuss whether it truly is beneficial to students by providing them with the opportunity to progress
( Part A ) : Philosophical Statement I believe that the early childhood years are crucial in children’s language and literacy development because children’s success in school and later in life is to a great extent will dependent upon their ability to read and write. I believe in integrating language and literacy development in the curriculum by investigating real topics or events that are meaningful to children to make the curriculum intellectually engaging (Neuman, 1998). I believe in providing a positive and nurturing relationship to the children so that they can model reading and writing behaviors, engage in responsive conversations, and foster their interests in learning to read and write (Slegers, 1996). I insist on providing
