As Kala and Isaiah became eighth graders in September, we weren't into reading that much. For instance, Isaiah barely read in school, Kala would usually read ten pages when she read. During the year, we both progressed into our reading. Kala started to read more pages in her books and Isaiah
started reading more books too. In the beginning of the year, Isaiah used to hate summarizing his book to the class, but now he kind of enjoys it. Kala didn't like sharing out to the class, but now she shares out frequently.
During the middle of the year Kala read way more books than in September. like Kala reading more thicker and more by challenging books. For example she read the challenging book,twilight and new moon. she also read thick books like
the uglies series. Isaiah has also read twilight and read thick books like harry potter series. In the middle we started determining our "interest" genres, which means finding the kind of book genres we like. For instance, Kala likes science and realistic fiction and Isaiah likes mystery and fiction novels. we also grew as readers by writing our journals. Isaiah knew nothing of how to write a satisfactory journal entry, but now he knows how to be specific and interesting in his journals. In the middle of the year Kala was enjoying independent reading and she liked to share out and write responses to her reading, than in the beginning. Isaiah also liked to write responses and make connections used connection strategies and interpreting different connections.
Now, near the end of he year, Kala and Isaiah were reading more books and relating to them. Kala now strong by pacing good and reading fluently and understands what's going on in a story. She is reading more books and becoming a more successful reader and is using past strategies in her reading. Isaiah is also becoming a successful reader by understanding the concept of the stories he reads and retells/ summarizes what happened in the story. He predicts what will happen next in a story and visualizes characters in a story! He also uses and the book it strategies from the past and will always remember to use them in the future. From this we can conclude that we have grew as better readers from Sept. '08 - Jun. '09.
This he. When we read at helps our reading with the outside world and at home because when we read we make inferences to the outside world. We also sort of make examples of how a book is related to us or the world aroundwe can make inferences or examples on how a book is like the life we live. We can also make connections from a book to another book, the world, and a movie. This helps us because we don't always have to make connections in reading class ONLY. We can make connections all around us. At home, at school, the place we travel, and the world around us, basically. This is why we have grew as readers.
