Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Automaticity as an Intervention for Improving Reading in Children. It needs to be at least 5000 words.

ic researches various government programs such as No child left behind, Reading First and the National Reading Panel have all all concluded that fluency is an important component of effective reading (National Reading panel, 2000). Thus it is apparent that the ability to read fluently is one of the basic attributes which is required from a child. However it is surprising that many children are not able to do it properly due to which they lag behind their entire lives. The National Assessment of Educational Progress in its report of 2011 claims 68% of students in the fourth and eighth grade scored basic or below in the benchmark reading assessments. These reports are even more thought provoking for some states like Arkansas where 70% of students of the fourth grade and 72% of the eight grades scored below the benchmark for effective reading (National Assesement of Educational Progress, 2011). This report presents a sorry state of affairs of the reading ability of our children. If children are not able to read properly, it is much more difficult for them to comprehend what has been read and apply it to problems. Reading fluency is the bridge between word decoding and comprehension (National Reading panel, 2000). Various scientific studies conducted by the National Reading Panels have come to the conclusion that reading fluency is essential in order to score well in the various state tests such as SAT which are the gateway to a good college degree and better life. Higher number of college graduates are absolutely necessary for USA in order to maintain the technological edge which it posses. At a time when India and China are threatening to take away our research jobs after already having taken away our back hand jobs ,we cannot afford to have children incapable of reading...

This report approves that the various intervention techniques and their effectiveness in improving the reading fluency among children was discusses. On the basis of analysis of the various intervention techniques described above it can be safely said that the best technique is repeated oral readings. Repeated oral reading is a strategy which can be said to be effective irrespective of the age of the child. Researchers have shown that it can be effectively used to improve the fluency among children of all age groups. The bottom line is that just like with any other activity like playing basketball or driving a car, it is practice that allows the learner to develop expertise in automaticity as well.

This paper makes a conclusion that automaticity is not the only reason which leads to poor reading fluency among children. It is just one of the three reasons. It has been shown that children with dyslexia usually have problem with word recognition once that is solved they achieve automaticity easily. After this there is the question of monotonous readers. We have seen many individuals, even adults who read without expressions and monotonously .These people are unable to develop prosody. In this research we have discussed the intervention techniques to improve automaticity and their effects on reading fluency have been discussed with the help of research done by various eminent people. The obvious future research which can be conducted is the intervention techniques which can be used to improve prosody and their effect on the reading skills of the individual.
