I personally feel that the issues raised in this weeks readings is snarly mislead. The lack of representation in the areas this article addresses is more likely linked to a lack of quality in the performance in these areas. People within these professions who raise theas issues are just virtue signaling and hold no con. Week 13 Predictions: Our Picks Against the Spread Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ juggernaut of an offense will get their stiffest test against the San Francisco 49ers in a game that feels.

Guided Reflection Examples

Reading 101 is a self-paced professional development course for K-3 teachers, developed by Reading Rockets. The program provides teachers with an in-depth knowledge of reading and writing so they are prepared to guide their students into becoming skilled and enthusiastic readers and writers.

Reading 101 was produced in collaboration with the Center for Effective Reading Instruction and The International Dyslexia Association.

Reading

Our brains are hard-wired to master spoken language, but learning to read is another story. Learning to read is a very complex skill — one of the most complex things that we ask our children to take on. And for many kids, it doesn’t come easily.

Reading

As a result, teaching children to read and write well can be a very challenging job. So much so that researcher Louisa Moats called her influential article “Teaching Reading IS Rocket Science.” (This incidentally, became the inspiration for the “Reading Rockets” name!).

There are many reasons why children succeed or struggle in school, but among school-related factors, teachers matter the most. What teachers know and what they do in class every day have an enormous impact on student achievement.

It’s never easy, but when reading instruction is delivered by knowledgeable, skilled teachers, more students will be more successful, and all but the most severe reading disabilities can be addressed effectively. This is true even for students who are most at risk.

Reading 101 presents some of the core information that teachers need to help young children learn to read and write well and to support the children who struggle. You may want to start with the introductory section, How Children Learn to Read and then move on to our course modules:
