A psalm of life
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a renowned American poet in the 1800s. One of his most famous poems was "A Psalm of Life". The poem encourages the reader to live life to the fullest each day and not take any day for granted. It emphasizes living with purpose and making the most of our lives so that we can leave behind a positive legacy through our actions. The poem also stresses that we should not live in fear and instead stand up to face life courageously. Longfellow's message is that we should learn from great people of the past and strive to make a difference with our lives.
A Psalm of Life
The poem "A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow urges readers to act with urgency in life instead of wasting time. It uses a driving rhythm to emphasize that we only have the present moment and should strive to accomplish great things that will inspire others, even if our impacts are as fleeting as footprints in the sand. While the poem does not provide clear reasons for why we should work so hard given our inevitable death, it resonates with the idea that we can fight against problems in the world and leave positive models for others through our labor and striving, even as our souls live on eternally.
A Psalm Of Life
A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow encourages readers to make the most of their lives rather than wasting time. In nine stanzas of quatrains with an ABAB rhyme scheme, Longfellow asserts that life is real and earnest, not just a dream. He says death is not the ultimate goal, and one should strive to leave behind good deeds for others to follow. The poem highlights that life is short and should be used impactfully rather than spent in sorrow, enjoyment or sloth. One should work hard and have faith that God will reward their efforts.
My own language development story
The document describes the author's experiences with language development from early childhood through school. Some of the author's first words were "daddy" and they had difficulty pronouncing words like "music" until age 4. Taking ballet lessons exposed them to French and Italian terms. The author enjoyed being read books by their parents from a young age and developed an interest in reading independently around ages 7-8. They performed well in reading assessments in primary school and enjoyed creative writing assignments. The author's experiences support theories by Kroll and Chall regarding adapting writing for different situations as a teen and stages of reading development from pleasure reading to critical analysis.
The Four-Pronged Approach in Reading Instruction
The document discusses a four-pronged approach to reading instruction. The first prong aims to develop a genuine love of reading by choosing age-appropriate and engaging stories and poems and building motivation. The second prong focuses on critical thinking through discussion and interpretation of stories. The third prong uses literature to help students master the structures of the language. The fourth and final prong is the transfer stage where students transition to beginning reading through readiness activities.

Reading to children is a tremendously important mission for parents and teachers. There are several arguments that explore why it is important to read to children. Some of these reasons include: it prepares children to succeed in school; it can help to develop language skills; it exercises brain function; it is a form of entertainment, and; it creates a bond between a child and the reader. The activity of reading has different meaning and often creates an emotional response in different people. For some, reading can be a chore, but for others reading is an opportunity for fun and family time. There are many educational benefits that reading provides for children. This is especially true when looking at the disciplines of literacy, language, and child development. This paper will explore how reading helps children in these various disciplines.
There are many benefits to reading. The Bilingual Kidspot outlines ten benefits that parents can grow in their children by reading with them. Reading to young children sets them up to succeed. The more that children are read to, the more knowledge and information they absorb, almost without realizing it. Reading develops language skills. Reading allows children to be exposed to different vocabulary and different topics. Reading exercises your brain and boosts brain activity which in turn can strengthen reading skills. It enhances a child’s concentration lengthening the child’s attention span. Reading encourages a thirst for knowledge. Reading leads to children being able to formulate questions about topics and helps them to investigate the topics fully, ultimately this investigation helps to expand their minds. Reading develops a child’s imagination and creativity. Reading helps develop empathy. When children read to they are able to practice putting themselves in the book, this helps them understand the feelings of the characters better and aides them in understanding their own feelings and emotions. When there is nothing else to do, reading can be a suitable option. Reading together can facilitate a bond between people. Reading with each other helps bring people together (Bonfiglio, 2017).
Interdisciplinary studies is a mode of solving a problem or exploring a concept by looking at it from the perspective of two or more disciplines. Interdisciplinary studies can be used to create new approaches and solve problems in new and innovative ways. In the Allen Repko book, Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies, he defines interdisciplinary studies as the integration of information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts and/or theories from two or more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge to understand or solve problems. These problems can be beyond the scope of a single discipline or area of research (Repko, 2014). Instead of trying to solve a problem by focusing on just one discipline, a person can cho.

Fun With Fluency- Poems and Riddles Presentation
This document discusses reading fluency and provides activities to practice fluency with students. It defines fluency as reading with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression. Two common approaches to teaching fluency are guided repeated oral reading and independent silent reading. The document recommends the student-adult reading approach where the adult models fluent reading of a passage before having the student read it aloud multiple times. It suggests using poems, riddles, and activities from a back table to motivate students and help them practice fluency skills like expression and phrasing.
East Kent Collge supporting evidence
The document discusses how a reading challenge at East Kent College has benefited several students. It describes how students who previously did not read are now engaged with reading. For example, Flavia has discovered reading for pleasure and Lucy has read 12 fiction books. Their reading skills and literacy have improved. Students look forward to reading time and discussions about books. James wrote a book review filling his reading diary. Ross is reading more age-appropriate books. Lauren, who is blind, has increased her braille reading level and reads at home. The challenge has helped with confidence, communication skills, and a sense of routine and escapism.
J montesdeocasoe115week6rhymesandchant
The document discusses how rhymes and chants can help young children learn languages. It explains that exposing children to a new language through rhymes and songs from a young age allows them to learn vocabulary and pronunciation skills in a fun way. The author shares their experience successfully teaching Spanish to young kids using this method. Credible sources cited support that nursery rhymes promote early literacy and language skills. The analysis further explains why the critical period of early childhood is optimal for acquiring new languages using this technique.
Extensive Reading: assumptions and experience
A short presentation on Extensive Reading on the 2nd Language English classroom. I tried to explain how my personal experience has differed or stood in contrast with some of the basic assumptions of what ER is and how it works.
Emergent reader
1) Emergent reading refers to a child's earliest experiences with print as they begin to develop literacy skills from ages 2 to 7. This stage occurs both in the home and early formal schooling.
2) There are five main stages of literacy development related to both reading and writing according to experts Clay and Fountas and Pinnell: emergent, early, transitional, self-extending, and advanced readers.
3) An emergent reader is a beginning reader who is developing basic concepts of print, can analyze pictures, recognize letters, and emulate adult reading behaviors.
Characteristics of emergent reader
The document discusses the five main stages of literacy development:
1) Emergent readers (ages 2-7) begin to understand concepts of print and connect text to meaning.
2) Early readers (ages 5-7) rely more on text than pictures and use word recognition strategies.
3) Transitional readers (ages 5-7) read fluently in phrases with expression.
4) Self-extending readers (ages 6-9) read independently across genres for knowledge and pleasure.
5) Advanced readers (ages 9+) have mastered reading comprehension and use strategies flexibly.
Literary appreciation skills
This document outlines objectives and content for a unit on teaching literature to children. The objectives are to explain the importance of teaching literature, identify literary appreciation skills, teach different genres like verses, poetry, fables and legends, and gain skills in storytelling, choral reading, and teaching drama. The content includes sections on teaching literature, literary appreciation skills, different genres, storytelling, choral reading, and drama in the classroom.
Educ 101 group report
This document discusses the stages of reading development from early childhood through adulthood. It outlines 5 stages of reading:
1) Pre-reading stage from birth to age 6 where children are exposed to books and develop early literacy skills.
2) Beginning reading stage from ages 6-7 where children start to decode words using phonics.
3) Reading for learning stage from grades 2-3 where reading fluency increases and comprehension improves.
4) Multiple viewpoints stage in high school where reading incorporates different perspectives.
5) Constructive reading stage in college where reading is used to build knowledge and develop critical thinking. Later stages involve more complex texts and analytical reading skills. Factors like language, cognition
1.-phonics-presentatio.pptx
This document provides information from a presentation on phonics delivered by the Deputy Headteacher of Rushey Green Primary School. It summarizes literacy statistics showing challenges in reading proficiency among students and adults in England. It then covers key concepts of phonics instruction, including sounds, graphemes, blending, segmenting, and decoding nonsense words. The goal is to explain how phonics is taught to help students learn to read.
Poetry in education
This document discusses using poetry to teach English. It provides background on poetry and poetic language. Poetry can be an effective way to teach language as it improves students' speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Poems help expand students' imagination through vivid imagery. Well-chosen poems that convey clear messages can teach values and manners in an engaging way. The document also explains how poetry and linguistics are closely connected, as poetry relies heavily on linguistic elements and features of language.
Emergent Reader and Emergent Writer
The document describes the stages of reading development from emergent to advanced readers. Emergent readers between ages 5-7 are developing basic print concepts and word recognition strategies. Transitional readers between ages 5-7 can read in phrases with less reliance on pictures. Fluent readers between ages 6-9 can read more complex texts for a variety of purposes. Advanced readers over age 9 have mastered reading and can comprehend texts on concrete and inferential levels.
Reading Phonics Meeting
- The document discusses how Ladbrooke JMI School teaches early reading skills such as phonics to students from nursery through year 2. It focuses on the synthetic phonics approach using the Read Write Inc. program.
- Key aspects covered include teaching the correspondence between letters and sounds, blending sounds to read words, segmenting words into sounds to spell, and learning both regular and irregular words.
- Support from parents is encouraged through daily reading at home, learning nursery rhymes, and practicing phonics skills.
Literacy through Poetry 2013
The document discusses definitions and types of literacy and poetry. It provides several definitions of literacy focusing on reading, writing, speaking, listening and understanding written information. Literacy is described as purposeful, flexible and develops over a lifetime. The document also examines how poetry can be used in the classroom to develop literacy skills like rhyming words, language and writing. Several types of poems are defined including acrostic, concrete, and shape poems. Examples are given of how nursery rhymes and songs can be incorporated into early elementary classrooms.
Carol Alter's Phonemic Awareness FInal Project
The document provides a template for a final project on developing plans to teach phonemic awareness in the classroom, including assessments, activities, and using technology tools. It includes sections to outline current phonemic awareness instruction, the importance of phonemic awareness, assessment of students' linguistic skills, practicing audio recordings, an example student assessment and analysis, and strategies for developing skills in segmenting words and syllables. The reflections indicate a better understanding of phonemic awareness and its importance for reading, and several proposed activities are described that could help assess and develop students' phonemic awareness.
AAC & Literacy: In Partnership to Develop Language
This document provides information on strategies for combining augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) with emergent literacy instruction. It discusses why AAC and literacy should be partnered to develop language, noting the need for meaningful communication and engagement. Shared reading is recommended, using techniques like Comment, Ask, Respond (CAR) and its extension, Putting the CROWD in the CAR, which involves completion, recall, open-ended questions, WH- questions, and distancing. Predictable chart writing is also outlined as an interactive writing activity where students compose text with an adult using a repeated sentence structure.
Literacy learners digital story
This document discusses literacy development for preK-3 students. It provides examples of lessons and texts for emergent and beginning literacy learners. For emergent learners, shared reading with repetitive texts is emphasized. A sample lesson uses a wordless picture book and "Hop on Pop". Beginning learners practice invented spelling and writing captions for a wordless book. Assessments include fluency, writing samples, and interest inventories. Differentiating instruction based on students' skills ensures their needs are met.
Literacy learners digital storybook
The document discusses strategies for teaching literacy to emergent and beginning readers. For emergent readers, it recommends using wordless picture books and books with repeated phrases during shared reading. Beginning readers benefit from reading texts with invented spelling to assess their knowledge and from writing their own stories. Assessments discussed include fluency scales, concept of print assessments, and interest inventories.
The wordbrain
This document introduces The Word Brain, a guide for fast language learning. It states that true language learning requires determination, discipline and perseverance rather than being easy or fun. It also notes that fast language learning is primarily a solitary effort using books, audio files and television rather than social interaction. The author aims to help readers develop advanced reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in another language, which typically requires 1-5 years of daily study. He draws on his own experiences learning 7 languages to develop strategies presented in the guide.
Key assignment
The document provides a summary and analysis of the book "All American Boys" by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. It describes the book as telling the perspective of two boys after one incident that changes their lives. Each boy tells his story over the course of a week - one from the hospital and one trying to avoid the situation at school. The document also analyzes and provides rationale for suggested discussion questions and additional texts to help students understand different perspectives.
16 works cited
The document provided references for a works cited list on topics related to language acquisition and teaching English to speakers of other languages. It included 16 sources from 2006 to 2011 including books, journal articles, lecture notes, and web pages on topics like second language acquisition, principles of teaching English, language development in children, and academic English. The references were used to cite information and ideas in a paper or project related to theories of teaching English to speakers of other languages.

This document discusses the importance of maintaining spiritual standards and not removing or modifying established "landmarks" or principles. It uses the biblical examples of maintaining physical land boundaries as an analogy for upholding doctrinal and behavioral standards. The key points are:
1) The Bible warns against removing landmarks or boundaries that were previously established. This applies to maintaining spiritual standards set forth in scripture.
2) Standards must be consistent and tie into the overall message, just as land surveys must connect to existing boundaries. Modifying standards risks deviating from the truth.
3) Believers should uphold high spiritual standards rather than lowering them to suit modern times. Individuals must conform to truth, not adjust truth to fit

Pick a psalm of life
- 1. A Psalm of Life Henry Wadsworth Longfellow In The Psalm of Life the life lesson that is taught is to live everyday to the fullest. I feel that it is important for children to understand that what they do with their lives is up to them. Consequently, it is up to them to start each day new and try and accomplish what will make them happy. This poem is a great way to get kids thinking about what they would like to do when they grow up. It is a good start to an occupations unit (Social studies). In addition, it could be used in a poetry unit. This can be accomplished through general poetry or an authors unit on Longfellow (Reading). I would use this piece in the grades of 4-6. I pick a higher grade for this piece because of its length and cognitive depth. It would be easier for the 4-6 graders to really recognize the importance of the message.
