In Completing The Reading And Attention Simulation Experiences

I agree, getting additional help from a peer is easier and less daunting than asking the teacher for help. Like you've stated it is sometimes difficult to understand the teacher despite the number of times that they go over it with you. A peer may have the ability to teach the method to you in a way that you understand. And yes, working with the student the tutor is able In completing the reading and attention simulation activities, I was able to get an idea of the struggles that some exceptional children experience. I completed the decoding activity and the memory activity for to understand the difficulties of children who struggle with reading. The visual acuity activity and the auditory activity were apart of the attention section,

This exercise allowed me to understand the importance of knowing phonemes. In completing the activity, I realize that being able to connect the phonemes that I hear to what I read is quite difficult if I have an issue with decoding. The activity instructed me to read a paragraph that had incorrectly written phonemes, by using the given phoneme translation key. For example, “q” was incorrectly used for either “d’ or “t” or “a” and “e” were replaced with one another. Decoding the words with the key was extremely difficult at first, but it got a little easier as I continued to read the paragraph. The activity was tricky in that there were some words that seemed correct because they were actually words, making me think that I didn’t have to worry about the word, but in reality, I did because it didn’t fit in with the message of the paragraph. In order for me to improve my decoding skills, the teacher should consider connecting my reading with spelling, by introducing the letter sounds as they are being taught in reading and making me identify words from the text that match what I am learning in phonetics. Having additional opportunities to practice and using decodable while I read will also be beneficial to my future
