try the eyeQ program, its a great program that uses moving objects on the computer moniter to exercise you eyes and make you read faster. you can try the demo and see if it works for you. here is the link.\n\nhttps://www.asseenontvnetwork.com/vcc/eyeq/eyeq/130412/

Record the student as he/she reads over time.  Every time you record the student have them listen and let them list what they noticed first.  The offer some advice.  Maybe you can tape about once a week and then go back and see how he or she is progressing in reading.  \nA lot of times I read very slow to model slow fluency then ask the students what I did when I was reading.  A lot of the times they will catch on that I wasn't reading fast enough.  Before reading let them know that today you are going to look at how they are reading.  Are they reading word for word or are they reading like if they are having a conversation with someone.

I hate when you kids get home from school at about 3 and start in with the homework questions.  Read your school books and do your own homework!

The need for literacy has always been the same, however, for people to actually follow through with becoming, and working with our children to become literate is an increasing problem in our society. more and more people grow up without the literary skills needed to get through life, and really succeed. I read every day to get information, and I am proud of that. I grew up without a television, and all I had was books! I think it should be that way for every child. They spend too much time in front of the T.V. while their brains are just developing and in the most need of literature, and people who are devoted to helping them learn. I love to read, it is the cornerstone of my development, and my future. And we all know, a building won't stand without a cornerstone of sorts! I also know though, there's nothing like hands on experience to help you understand what you read, if possible. It helps children connect the dots so to speak. (I am quite long-winded, lol, but I hope it'll help you out!)

I heard that it was on the eight grade level and get 5-6 times to pass. The ones that can't pass and complaining are the ones who can not understand what they are reading. They will be going out into the world only fit to be a pick and shovel person.

I don't know what you mean by efficiently, but if you mean as many books as possible in a short amount of time, try children's books. You would be surprised at the vocabulary in them. Also try 6th grade reading level books that are about 80 pgs long.

i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

Something is wrong. Most children learn to read by the latter part of Kindergarten, if not before. Children at the third grade level should be able to read at least 110 words per minute. He definitely needs intervention before it is too late! Research shows that children who do not read on grade level by the end of third grade tend to not ever read on level.Have your boyfriend step in and get involved and work with his son's teachers to determine the reason for the problem.

I wish I had known how much paperwork and "fluff" was involved.  After student-teaching, I was SO EXCITED to have my own class and just TEACH.  I was motivated and had fun, interactive lesson plans on which I had worked VERY hard.  However, when I started out the school year, I quickly realized how much fluff there is - committees, meetings, paperwork, demands of your time from administration, etc. and felt that I wasn't really being given much time to do what I truly loved and what brought me there in the first place...to TEACH.\n\nI learned to be as efficient as possible and use your planning time VERY effectively so that those things can be minimized and put to the side...as they should be.  Then you have more time with your students, who are all that really matter.\n\nHope this helps!  :o)\np.s. I have taught third and fifth grades...mostly third.

Practice makes perfect, read aloud when you can, it helps. and also use your finger to follow along with what your reading, to keep track where you are. the more read the better you will be at it. and you can always go to your local library and volunteer to read to the kids,the kids love it and it gives you a chance to practice. good luck!

I just took a college adolescent literature class and learned lots of fun things.  Is your assignment to do a creative book report?  I had to do 3 of them.  On one I used the "Real story of the Three Little Pigs".  I did a puppet show.  It was fun to do but took quite a bit of time.  I also did a book box once.  You read a story, I used "The Whipping Boy", and put 5 or so things in a box, or container from the story.  I used a basket for my container and put a loaf of bread, a crown, a Mr. Potato Head and a few other things in it.  You will have to read the book to understand.  The last one I did was the sequel to "Holes", "Small Steps".  I made a poster filled with clip art pictures from the computer of things from the book and called it an I Spy.  Then I cut out the letters for small steps and glued over the items.  It is meant to be a creative way to tell about a book you read instead of the boring old writing of a two page book report.  The thing to remember is to pick a book you like and have fun.

HI BEACH BABE.\nI WAS LIKE YOU TOO READING ALL THESE BOOKS ABOUT SURVIVING MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP AT ALL. I WAS SCARED BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME. AT MY SCHOOL WE DON'T GET LETTER GRADES LIKE A B C F'S BUT THEY DO SAY A B C F'S  TRUST ME YOU WILL HAVE NEW FRIENDS. SOME TEACHERS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU BUT MOST IF YOU DO GOOD THEY WILL. I AM A LITTLE SAD ABOUT LEAVING SCHOOL FOR SUMMER BREAK. YOU WILL MISS YOUR FRIENDS ALOT.\n\nGOOD LUCK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL,\nVY
