Summary Of The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Readers

When you writing a book that is very controversial that it is meant for young adults and children of course you going to be in the middle/center of everything. You cannot make public libraries, school districts, and even parents change this mind about a book that they don’t want their children to read. I know I might have repeat myself about parents letting their children read what they think their children to read because some parents don’t want them to be expose to something that they are going to be too unsuitable. At the end, Blume understands what the parents and teachers are trying to say when she gave one of her friend’s daughter a book that title “The Stupid Book” by James Marshall, and the mother was like no I don’t want my kid to say words that are bad for their vocabulary

A third symbol in this is the empty book Freak gives Max towards the end of the book. Freak is giving Max a new start, telling him “I want you to fill it up with our adventures”(150). The empty book is a chance to restart and put everything about his parent behind him. But of course that is difficult for Max because he thinks he can’t write.

The readers can get a understanding of how Premila was treated proving their culture was not as “great” as the British culture. Rau forces readers to recognize that in their society no matter what the problem is insular people make it worse. Also, the mother and Premila thought Santha didn't know what was going on but she did by saying,“I understood it perfectly and i remember it very clearly. But I put It happily away because it all had happened to a girl named Cynthia, and I never was really particularly interested in her” (Rau,42).

An instance of this occurs when Scout started schooling she could already read, much to the distaste of her teacher. She feels guilty and upset over being told that she must stop reading, and she doesn’t understand why she is being told to do so (pg 23). This is an example of Scouts character, in that she doesn’t often consider the “why” to situations. Atticus teaches Scout an important lesson to understand where people are coming from so that she may learn “why” things are presented the way they are, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (pg 39). As it is Scout does not consider things from others point of view, and she doesn’t understand their motives as Atticus would like her to, and it is extremely detrimental to her

Despite the disappointments that the author faces as an adult, most people would not castigate the blessings that they have had both as an adult and as a child. The author will always dwell in the past of how her childhood was unsatisfactory, and it will always affect her children’s lives. Because their mother does not believe in happy adolescent years, her children will always be deprived of joyful teenage years since their mother failed to provide that for her children. The literary elements in the article, however, are multi-faceted.

Reading isn 't the most important thing, so it shouldn 't be given all the attention that McCloud gives it. However, a study conducted by Mindlab International at the University of Sussex demonstrates that reading decreases stress by 68% (Telegraph, 2009). By reading alone, an individual is able to escape the reality they hate so terrible and wind down. Most people fail to see the importance of the little things in life like reading, painting, going to art exhibits and just simply living. Society trains the mind to stop being happy because being happy means that life is taken as a joke and that cannot be the case if success is to be attained.

The book was not what I assumed a high school senior would ever read. I assumed the focus now would be the core of literature and all the complicated terms that comes with it. Instead, this book starts off by teaching something students should have been but were not taught in the elementary years. I learned why we write. Writing has the power of change and we, all with are own unique perspectives, have a role to play.

Many human beings have education, but are too lazy to get up, go to school, and use their brains. Language is also a problem, because they face someone who does not speak their language, then have nothing to do about it. In the passage, “A Smart Cookie”, it says, “You want to know why I quit school? Because I didn’t have nice clothes. No clothes, but I had brains.”

"Grades and Self-Esteem" Reading Journal In the essay written by Randy Moore, “Grades and Self-Esteem " talks about the American education system and unprepared students. Furthermore, in the essay, the writer mentioned that grades of students are low because, they lack of the knowledge and many cannot pass seventh grade exams. Moreover, certain students do not want to learn or think, and also, he said that some students lack of the critical thinking. The author believe that critical thinking is something that can be learned by time not something that can be stuffed normally.

I’ve never been great with words, I could have this amazing idea but for some reason I could never get my point across in a meaningful way. My history with literacy goes a little something like this … growing up I didn’t have the best education to start off and this had a huge impact on me. I believe a reader and writer is truly shaped by their adolescent learnings and this was an area I really feel like I lacked, Although I never felt very good at reading or writing there were a select few novels and topics that I really enjoyed writing about. I always dreaded English class, not because I don’t like it or because I wasn’t interested in the book we were reading for class at that time. It had more to do with how low my confidence was with reading

Being uninterested in a book, like most students reading about history would be, does not bring the same feeling. Learning from family is also another great thing. By doing this and getting advice from our parents and grandparents, we know not to make mistakes that they did. If we did not know about things that happened in the past, history could easily repeat

Miss Fisher asks, "Your dad must have taught you how to read, correct?" I replied, "Yes, ma 'am." "It 's not his job to teach you things, it 's mine," she said irritated. "How am I supposed to keep my job if Atticus wants to teach you or other kids how to read?" I didn 't respond.

Undergraduate years were classes that the author are no longer enjoy mainly because professors lack skills to communicate. Bell Hooks found Paulo Freire and he was a man that she can look up to as he prompted critical pedagogy to her. The feminist classrooms were the place that we could raise critical inquiries about education process related to practice of freedom. Bell Hooks was excited to start teaching with ways different than what she had been taught. Furthermore, she longed to combine excitement and seriousness making a better learning environment than the one she used to had.

Both of my parents have read the novel and enjoyed it, so it bothers me that this “proclaimed masterpiece has fallen prey to the short-cuts of Cliff’s Notes (source A). Several teachers find Cliff’s Notes a useful tool in teaching when student read them along with reading the actual novel but there lies the problem: students aren’t reading the novels, instead they are reading less (source E). By reading less of these novels, the students are fed an answer versus finding the answer on their own. As a student myself I find that students take these short-cuts because they finding reading novels boring busywork and by pass it to get to what they want to do, like watching sports or watching their favorite TV show. Once again we encounter short-cuts in the work.

Many struggling readers in middle school are disengaged from reading. In addition to low achievement, these students can have low motivation for reading. Many factors contribute to disengagement in middle school. Reading instruction is often disconnected from content, making reading tedious. Textbooks are formidable, and students are expected to respond to text with formal criticism or outlining rather than personal reactions.
