Reading Comprehension As An Intermediate Level

The screenplay The Crucible almost every scene is filled with discrepancies. From the beginning, the film has historical inaccuracies. In the opening scene, the dancing in the woods never actually happened. The ages of some of the characters are incorrect and the claims of witchcraft are done by more than just the group of girls as shown in the movie. Although, the movie in entirety is accurate, the fate and emotions of each character is properly depicted.

Based on my observations of the assessments, K.M lacks proper fluency and comprehension skills. In addition, based upon her continuous pausing while reading, I can indicate there is a speech area of concern. K.M. battles with making the accurate connections needed to produce reading comprehension. She often appears lost and completely off topic. Although K.M. displays vocabulary understanding, there is a misinterpretation of linking the vocabulary meaning to the actually passage/text being read aloud. Furthermore, K.M. when uncertain about an answer tends to guess a whole heap. The fluency levels show a slight growth, however it is not a huge jump. K.M. assessment indicates she is reading below grade level (2nd grade) and needs intervention

Based on her performance during this evaluation, it is clear that EE107 is far below her peers across academic areas. Given this, more direct instruction in math and reading is necessary.

How does Harper Lee use the notion of family to present the good and bad in people?

One identifying marker the students use is slang. Linguists define slang as a youth-dominated, rapidly changing lexicon associated with casual social contexts, but a nonlinguistic view frames slang as an illegitimate linguistic variety. The latter definition is inaccurate because these varieties have strict grammatical rules and are only “illegitimate” to the uneducated eye. Furthermore, calling slang illegitimate is disrespectful because it disregards the users of such language as inferior, therefore rendering them powerless. This disrespect is often aimed at the African American community, whose usage of AAVE is highly stigmatized. Slang, as a whole, is a shared youth identity in that everyone regardless of race or social status uses it; however, much of slang is available only to a certain group of people. Slang can be involved in processes of adequation or distinction, making its usage contentious or socially risky depending on what person used

Jennifer also works with the Title I reading teacher during this time period for ½ hour, three times per week. The Title I teacher has been using SRA Reading Mastery with Jennifer this year. Although she says that

First of all, most people can no longer able to hold a conversation without looking at their phone every few minutes. Our ability to conversant is dwindling due to text lingo. As Nicholas Carr, said 1“Just as there’s a tendency to glorify technological progress, there’s a countertendency to expect the worst of every new tool or machine”. As I was walking through the mall one day I overheard a group of teen girls talking and every few words was either “omg”, “like” or “seriously”. Nowadays, when writing to friends common words are often shortened to save time, but what most people do not realize, is that people develop habits and after so many uses of text lingo the actual way to spell the word goes away.

She was able to answer 85% of the questions correctly. She answered the questions using the information from the story with 100% of accuracy. And even more, she expended her thinking outside of the story. She had some difficulty answering vocabulary questions. When I asked her what word “string” means, she was not able to answer. She was feeling very strong retelling the story, but she missed to mention a father as a character of the story. She has a high level of comprehension: she remembers what she read, but has a hard time reading it. I gave her a listening comprehension assessment to identify what she would able to do while listening to a story. I started from one level low, and she was bale to answer all the questions correctly. It meant for me that Alexandra’ comprehension would not be the major concern for

According to her teacher, Julia is not meeting grade-level requirements in reading. The teachers have concerns that Julia has difficulty with reading and writing. She has begun avoiding school work and is becoming frustrated as evidenced by tears, not doing her work, being more social and distracted in class.

If we can catch her difficulties early we can catch her up to the standards without her needing to be in special education. Based on her scores I am going to place her in Tier 3. Tier 3 allows her to have individualized or small group instruction, consisting of no more than 2 other students. Suzie will be working with a specialist to try and catch her up to the standard for her grade. We will be reassessing in the middle of the year so she will not be stuck in a tier if she needs to be in a higher tier. Nothing here is set in stone and Suzie is a very good student who wants to learn. Wanting to learn is the fastest way for a student to improve. Do you have any questions on anything I have said so

I have one above grade level student, two grade level students, and two below grade level students. The students I choose are the ones that are most likely to be overlook because they are to quiet and don’t have any outward behavior issues. I also chose one high level student because I wanted to see how I can provide additional resources for student who works above grade level. The lower level students have different abilities when it comes to reading and writing. One student does better in reading comprehension and the other struggles with comprehension but is better at decoding and sounding out words.

With mobile phones where the small screen technology is so constraining, texting and tweeting plays a significant role in how we conduct our daily communication. David Crystal wrote an article titled “Texting”, and believes the younger generation is introducing a new phase of texting where words are usually represented with acronyms (241). Crystal called this abbreviated text exchange a “textspeak” (243). Kris Axtman is also a prominent author who wrote an article, “R U Online? The Evolving Lexicon of Wired Teens” (247). His article focuses on teenagers and their dependency on the online technology. Axtman observes that teenagers develop a whole range of abbreviations while exchanging

After the survey was over, Lucy was walked back to the class where she laid down and began to read a book right away.

Reading is one of the most beneficial activities a man can do. Out of reading, man can be able to discover new things, concepts, places and people. More so, reading is a way to relax our mind and soul, going deeply through the world of story and improves our thinking and internalization process.
