When I first see this question: what do I know right now about reading? My first thought was that I am a slow reader and have always had a challenging time with reading. I often have to read things twice to understand what they are about. It was discovered in 4th grade I wasn't reading at the 4th grade level and I can thank my 4th grade teacher for discovering that. She helped me the best that she could but than I moved on to 5th grade.
I don't really know anything right now in regards to how children learn to read. I work with teenagers with autism. Two of my students are on a program called Edmark Functional Words but I feel they aren't really reading those words they are memorizing them but don't generalize them when they are in that format. Which makes me wondering why those students are still on that program because they can't generalize those words when they are written or posted somewhere else.
I hope I am doing this right. I wanted to answer this question first and now I will create a new blog to answer the essential questions.
