I recall in the 7th grade when I had first put on my new glasses. The view of the world was completely different and also the english language it self. I could now read and copy whatever my teacher had on the board. My new glasses also helped me with reading and my writing. I was amazed how my eyes affected my language.
Starting back to elementary school I wasn’t the best student that could read or spell well in the class. I never understood why I couldn’t grasp onto spelling words like “genius”, “beautiful”, or even “science”. Of course these spell issues affected by grades and I never understood what problem was until middle school. This also affected my reading because I could never pronounce words correctly because I couldn 't spell them.
Rhetorical Analysis of “Teaching Taco Bell Canon” “New studies show that children read for leisure less as they get older, with 45% of 17-year-olds saying that they read by choice only once or twice a year” (Time). The lack of interest for reading is unfortunately true. Moreover, it is causing students to spell and pronounce words incorrectly. In this highly descriptive article, “Teaching Taco Bell Canon”, James E. Courter recounts the hilarious misspellings that students wrote in their essays.

My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game. It is white, round, has red stitches, and is smooth when new, but when we caught it it was beat up and the blue writing on it was smeared. A baseball is small and light in size. It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times. A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn very tight, covered by white leather with red stitching around the out side, making it a very hard ball.
Though I was relieved to know that I was not doomed to a life of unintelligence, this only confirmed that I would have to work harder than everyone else in academics. Instead of crippling me, this empowered me. I used dyslexia as a motivator to work harder in every area of my life. Due to this work ethic, peers and administrators select me for leadership roles.
I think something that should be looked at would be how reading is connected with the way we write which

Everyone as a kid has something that offers them security, for most kids it's a blanket, a binki (pacifier), or a bear but for me, I felt most safe with a headband on top of my head. As a kid i had over a hundred headbands ranging in various sizes and colors. When I was little I was known for my headbands, you can ask anyone who went to saint james they would tell you that I wore a different one everyday. There was one teacher who would always tell me my headbands were my, “crowns”and she was right, they made me who i am. To me, headbands were more than just a casual accessory, it sounds dumb but they were the one area where i could express myself and still stay within the dresscode of my catholic school.
Reading is indispensable to a students’ academic progress in school, and consequently their success in life. Research has shown that both children and adults who struggle to read are severly disadvantaged when they cannot create meaning from text. Research indicate that when students experience difficulties in reading in the formative years, they stand a minimal chance of reaching reading parity with their peers. In addition, students experiencing reading difficulties often encounter further setbacks and as they advance through the grades the academic development in comparison to those who read well grows more distinct.
It was recommended by my school that I get tested to see if I had dyslexia, by the start of the next school year, I was tested and it was positive that I had dyslexia. Even though it never was a large impact on my life, it was clear that it could become a problem further down in my academic future. I attended an extra speech and reading therapy class after school so I could learns ways to minimize and overcome my dyslexia. For example, I had try my best to not read ahead and getting myself mixed up when I read out loud, although, I chose not to have any extra accommodations for my dyslexia after taking the classes. I was able to train my brain to find work-arounds to help with my reading and writing challenges, all thanks to my very helpful dyslexia teacher, Mrs.
Introduction This article looks at what research tells us about helping students who read below grade level and needing more research to make improvements toward reading standards. Summary The author states that most research has a limited amount of studies that only include traditional instruction.
Many children at school are capable of hiding their learning difficulties by steering clear from reading aloud or writing very little (Reid 2013, p13).Not to mention, the Report of the Task force on Dyslexia (2001) states learning difficulties from dyslexia occurs across the lifespan of a person and can vary from mild to severe at different ages (Report of the Task Force on Dyslexia, 2001). It is extremely vital for teachers to be fully aware and trained in the area of dyslexia. Teacher’s use of differentiation in their subjects in the classroom is a strong fundamental in order to meet the needs of a student with a learning difficulty like
According to him, problem stems out from the lack of ability in segmenting spoken words into separate words. The students appear particular insensitive to representing clusters of letters of pronounceable sub-units within the words which finally results inability to develop automaticity in spelling. Diagnostic symptoms (Hallahan And Kauffman 2006) • Addition of unneeded letters • Omission of needed letters • Reversal of vowels •
Glasses Getting my glasses changed my life forever. Befor I got glasses I had perfect vision and nothing seemed to ever be able to change that. One day in fifth grade I woke up to find I couldn 't see anything but blurs but it wasn 't all that bad. My vision kept degrading to the point I couldn 't see anything even whilst squinting. It was terrifying.
