Over the past decade, fluent reading has been recognized as a central component of skilled reading. This surge of interest is partially due to the identification of fluency as a major component for optimum reading development by organizations such as the National Reading Panel, the National Institute for Literacy, and the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy through the Partnership for Reading and to a broader reconsideration of the role of oral reading in the development

The fifth characteristic listed is Vietnamese people love knowledge and have quick understanding but hardly learn from the beginning to the end of things, so their knowledge is not systemic or fundamental.

Five Communication Contexts There are five contexts of communication. Each context significantly influences the way we communicate with one another, and with ourselves. These contexts include intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, group communication, public communication, and mass communication. Each mode of communication shares similarities and differences. They can also overlap with one another. In this paper, I will describe each one, convey an example of each, and share which

Recently, many wildfires have taken place throughout the United States. Some of these wildfires are started intentionally, unintentionally, or start on their own as brush fires. Either way, wildfires are damaging to our environment. Now, scientists have been tracking and recording air quality levels before, during, and after wildfires and they are concluding that smoke from wildfires are tipping air quality numbers to unhealthy and dangerous levels. Most Importantly, Wildfires are damaging to
Currently, the National Weather Service issues notices when weather conditions favor the ignition and rapid growth of wildfires. One such notice issued by the NWS is a fire weather watch. A fire weather watch is issued to alert land managers and the public that weather conditions developing in the next 12 to 72 hours could result in critical fire weather conditions. The NWS, in conjunction with land management agencies, also issues Red Flag Warnings. These notices are issued when currently existing
How does a Wildfire Work? By: Tanner Gottlob Mrs. Sukstorf ELA ELA–Period 2 February 6, 2023 Tanner Gottlob Mrs.Sukstorf ELA - Period 2 Jan. 26, 2023 How Does A Wildfire Work? When some people look at wildfires, they see destruction, some see beauty, some chaos, but what fuels these massive wildfires? How do these forest-eating infernos work? Scientists believe that the fire triangle has a big role in fuel and function (Oliphant). Convection has helped too. A wildfire is fueled by the fire triangle
Something that is used to estimate wildfire activity for a region is the Red Flag Guidance/ Verification Matrix, or otherwise known as a Red Flag Warning. A Red Flag Warning is an estimation issued by the United States National Weather Service to inform fireman as well as land management agencies that conditions are susceptible to wildfire activity. Besides the warning system used for this activity, there are various environmental factors that can affect a fire. Things such as temperature, wind,
Although the world has to many different natural disasters, forest fires seems to happen quite often in California. Forest fires are uncontrolled blazes fueled by dry underbrush, wind, and weather.

humidity, wind gusts, and wind speeds. As wildfires become larger and more destructive it is becoming increasingly difficult to contain our population as we began to have urbanization in rural areas which is a red zone for wildfires hence, preventing controlled fires, causing more fuel to be near Colorado homes which, consequently makes wildfires even more dangerous.
