Introduction “Every school day in the United States for the past decade, more than 3,000 students have dropped out of high school (Joftus), 2000).” This is becoming an epidemic because literacy is simply not just being able to read or write your name. The rigors for the literacy curriculum have become much more complex and require students to be able to comprehend and state their input on different reading texts from a variety of sources. A vast amount of the funds from the federal government has been targeted towards the reading for primary grades. Secondary students such as high school students may find it difficult to transition to a higher reading level because of the complexity.

This also included the teacher’s ability to adapt their teaching style and lessons to the spoken dialect of the child. Another consideration in reading achievement of children with an AAE dialect was the parental literacy, willingness, and capability to promote comprehension. Family factors that provide emphasis on reading ability are: (a) identifying any family history of reading difficulties; (b) literacy of those within the home environment; (c) conversational skills provided in a child’s environment; (d) non-English speaking family members; (e) dialects of American English; and (f) the socioeconomic status of the home, neighborhood, and school.

Language acquisition is a fundamental stage of childhood, as is generally the focus for 6- to 12-year-old school children (Bee et al., 2018). As a child, I was encouraged by my parents to read as an independent hobby. Research suggests the importance of motivating children to prepare for independent reading in school, as it contributes to one’s reading performance in adulthood (Bee et al., 2018). My genuine passion and interest in reading influenced my literary ability from an early age, and I was reading novels by kindergarten and was often placed in gifted reading programs. Had I not been so interested in reading as a child, my literary aptitude may not be at the level where it is

In addition, Mehta et al. (2013) found that when students perceive that bullying and teasing are widespread in their school, they feel less safe and become less engaged in their school experience. As a result, they have less commitment to doing well at school and they are less likely to participate in school activities. Victims report lower school performance and school attachment (Schneider et al. , 2012).When bullying and victimization are prominent features of the classroom environment it is evident that children are susceptible to having low academic achievement.
