Article: Reading aloud to students regularly increases their skills in reading fluency and comprehension. It exposes them to vocabulary, and helps them to internalize language structures that they will apply to their own reading. Reading aloud is also a great way to get students calmed down before a transition in lessons. Choose interesting, age-appropriate books to read to students. Younger students (kindergarten-2nd grade) will enjoy stories with colorful pictures. As students move through the elementary grades, you can choose longer chapter books that are based on their interests. As students begin to develop reading fluency, encourage them to read aloud in class too. Letter-to-sound recognition is a crucial skill to learn for beginning and struggling readers. Accurate and fluent word recognition depends on phonics knowledge. The younger grades in particular (2nd grade and below) can benefit from regular reviews on phonics and practicing the sounds that each letter can make. Learning the rules of certain letter combinations in English (for instance "ea" usually sounds like long "ee") is also highly beneficial for beginning readers, after the basic alphabet sounds are learned. By the end of 2nd grade, students should be able to decode almost any unfamiliar word in their texts so they can attend to uncovering the meaning of the word. Sight words are the most commonly occurring words in children's books by reading level. Words like "to," "and," and "it" occur in preschool level books, and move up to words like "never," "better," and "laugh" in 3rd grade level books. What is known as Dolch word list outlines the 220 most commonly occurring words in children's literature. Teach sight words with pictures. Many learners think in pictures, and whether we realize it or not, we often visualize what we are learning to help solidify the information in our memories. Practice listening to, saying, and repeating the sight words. Have students listen to sight words while you show them the words on flash cards. Have them repeat the words after you. Review current sight words in books, music, and games. Exposing students to sight words as many times as possible and in many contexts will help them to really learn them. The best way to promote independent reading is to have a classroom library (or use the school library regularly) that has many books on varied topics. There are countless lists of popular, current, age-appropriate children's literature available through schools, bookstores, and on the web. Offer time for silent reading in class for students to read a book of their choice. In the older grades (starting in 2nd or 3rd grade) incorporate a reading log with short written book reports for each book that they finish during the independent sessions. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening do not each exist in a vacuum within a thriving language arts classroom. Books are read together and talked about, and writing assignments are created based on the reading, and then writing assignments are read aloud and talked about. Plan units that incorporate all the skills and assignments that build off of each other.

Article: Talk about weddings in casual conversation, bring up cute proposal videos, and comment on friends getting married. See how he reacts, from "I could never do that," to something more interested, like "That's really cute." Don't expect this to get the idea across by itself. This is just a comfortable, low-pressure way to begin the discussion early on. Many men do not think much about marriage and will not bring it up unless the women does. Women must bring up the subject and make their wishes known, unless they want to stay in an unsatisfying "status quo" forever. You do not even need to bring up marriage at this point. Discuss career goals, places you might want to live together, and future plans. Make sure to emphasize the "we" aspect when talking. You want to see how your partner reacts to a life together. If they are excited or involved in future plans, then they may very well be thinking of wedding bells as well. If they don't like talking about the future or making plans then they are likely not interested or ready for a marriage proposal. Some people are oblivious when it comes to hints and may need a little extra help in discerning your intentions. Remember: though you may want to be proposed to, your significant other may not be willing to make that big of a commitment yet. Don't pressure them too much because it could end up pushing them away. You don't want to force it, just help the situation along. Being honest about what you need in the relationship is a critical part of knowing how to get a proposal. If you want to get married, you cannot sit around and hope your partner is a mind-reader. Sit down and talk about marriage in an open, honest fashion. Let him know that getting married is important to you. If he does not want marriage at all, then you need to think about moving on. Having this conversation now, however, can save you months in a relationship that cannot give you what you want. Some men must realize what they will be losing if they are unwilling to make a commitment to a woman who wants to get married. A woman who is willing to leave a man and move on to another relationship to get what she needs is someone who knows how to get a proposal that will result in a happy marriage.
