I am not sure if they will be scheduling an ARD for him or not, but KK or Kaedynce has been a PPCD student since the age of 3. He qualified for the program due to Speech and Articulation. He has progressed above expections. I am aware of Kaedynce's focus or lack there of. At home, I usually redirect at least once after that we talk through consequences, this usually is the loss of time on his Ipad. He responds very well to that. Although, we would like to get a place where he stays aware at all times we simply are not there yet. Please in class if necessary let him know if he does not want to lose those priviledges at home he needs to stay on task. I am a bit surprised to hear he is not doing well in reading, he does very well at home. He
Today we focused on organizing Nathan's notebook, completing an ELA worksheet, and reading and taking notes from his book, Maniac Magee. Nathan did fairly well today, and stayed on task long enough to complete the assignments that I asked him to do. I saw several of his grades today from ELA, and his teacher commented that she had a hard time reading his handwriting. I was glad to hear that he got a good score on his science test, and I told Nathan that he should be happy with the grade. He does have a ways to go, but it doesn't hurt to give praise when it's due. I am concerned though about his reading and handwriting skills. His handwriting is difficult to read, and he also struggles with spelling which makes his writing a challenge to understand
The classroom setting is kindergarten with a mixed environment of general education students and special education students. The child can do his work; however, he is resistant by saying he does not want to read or write because it is boring. Being WZ one-to-one paraprofessional is challenging since the child has behavioral issues that requires professional assistance for developmental support.
My two boys, Christian and Adrian Ayala, are both A/B students and both have achieved Principal Honor Roll once every year. My 11 year old son, Adrian, has been medically diagnosed with ADD. He suffers from anxiety and stress disorder. He is taking medically prescribed Adderall for his anxiety and his depression. He is enrolled in the special needs learning program. Even with these challenges, my youngest son has managed to maintain a perfect attendance andcosistently achieves honor-roll recognition every year. He is also a Boy
The student I worked with is in 5th grade. We did a DRA on a story called “Cry Foul”. This is a great assessment to assess a student’s reading ability in order to enhance his or her literacy achievement. I learned many things about my student that he likes to read adventurous books and books regarding sports. He wants to become a better reader by enhancing his understanding and vocabulary of the text. It’s also a bit difficult for him since English is his second language and a year ago he was taking ESL classes. It’s amazing that he has great goal settings that determines that he wants to become a better reader. The things that I observed about the student is that his oral reading is fluent since he had about three miscues in which one was
‘’One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard Rainsford.’’
I observed fluent reading, he read accurately with some self-correction, at a steady speed. He also added intonations appropriately. Overall he read very smoothly. Some of the words were not always articulated correctly, but I did not count these as errors, as this is a reflection of his speech impediment and not his reading ability. He also had a good understanding of what he read. His comprehension of what happened in the story and what was being inferred was on
Her mother received a BS in Child-Life Development at MSU and her father earned a Business Management of Sales at Rasmussen. Her mother never had any educational problems while she went to school. She always enjoyed reading and was advance compared to her peers. Nealy’s dad did struggle at school, he had to repeat 2nd Grade. Nealy’s mom didn’t know that her husband struggled with reading until Nealy was born. At night when Nealy’s dad would read to her, he would skip over words and would sound extremely “choppy.” According to Nealy’s mother, her husband claims he can read fine when reading to himself, he just “can’t read out-loud.” Therefore, Nealy’s mom does the majority of the bedtime reading to all their children. Nealy’s mother is an in-home daycare provider and her father co-owns a Bio Wood Processing Business. Since Nealy’s mom is a daycare provider, she works with all her “kids” on reading and writing every day. In the summertime, there is less emphasis on academics and more on outside exploration and
Multnomah County had a survey done for kindergarten teachers. The results suggested that 19.4% of their students were not headed toward literacy success, due to a lack of necessary language and pre-reading skills. There is a 90% probability of a child that is a poor reader in first grade, still being a poor reader three years later, in fourth grade (http://www.co.marion.or.us). As Early Childhood Educators, we must help our students.
The special education coordinator noted that “[the principal] really understands what it means to have a well-designed learning environment for our special education students.” She facilitates the development of appropriate student placements and specialist assignments that represent classroom support needs. She is also involved in the IEP process, coordinates with the special education department chair and coordinator, promotes instructional practices responsive to student needs, and implements professional development requirements. Her most important functions in an Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) meeting are to commit resources and ensure the services set out in the ARD meeting will actually be provided. These efforts are documented and placed in the student record (J. Harrison, D. Gibson, personal communication, February 27,
The mother explained she cannot read or write in the English Language, but her son’s older siblings can and try to help the younger sibling. The two older siblings have been very successful throughout their educational experience and have not struggled as the younger. She stated that her son as no desire to read at home, and completing homework is an everyday struggle with him. This student is in Tier 3 of the Response to Intervention (Mesmer & Mesmer, 2008) process, and has been referred for testing for special education services.
For a child who is just starting to learn to read, they need sufficient practice in reading a variety of different books to achieve fluency. Reading can be complex and has many different aspects (Burns,1999). It is suggested that children who have problems reading and writing at a young age will find it hard to catch up as they get older and will not reach their full potential as adults, many will withdraw from school or society and some becoming involved with crime (MacBlain,2014). 40 percent of children find learning to read a challenge but with early help, most reading problems can be prevented (Reading Rockets, n.d.).
After reviewing the three classroom settings for Micah, I believe the appropriate setting would be inclusion. Within an inclusive classroom Micah would receive the added support he needs to reach educational goals. An inclusive setting would also provide the least restrictive environment for Micah while allowing him the social activity he enjoys. Any accommodations are able to be added without signaling him out in front of his peers. Most classrooms have student computers to use during class time. Micah’s computer can be set up ahead of time with extra app’s that will allow him to have such things as spell check, talk to type, read back, thesaurus and dictionaries, and calculators if needed. Micah could use headphones if needed. Often student
Desalination of sea and brackish water is a common technique to alleviate the increasing shortage of fresh water in many areas of the world today. Nonetheless, desalination processes require large quantities of energy. In addition, the cost of the different desalination techniques is very closely linked to the costs of energy. Therefore, in a context of continuously rising energy costs and with the impending exhaustion of the conventional energy resources, the development of energy- efficient desalination technologies is a very attractive and promising prospect to solve these problems.
According to Lerner (1988: 349), the ability to read is the basis for mastering various fields of study. If the child at an early age does not immediately have the ability to read, then he will have many difficulties in studying various fields of study in the
