“Good things come to those who work every day of their life and never give up.”-Kyle Winton
Look at how the children have gone to great lengths to learn to read. At first they have had difficulty pronouncing the letters and then combining them to pronounce them correctly. Their efforts should be valued, that is, if teachers / parents want to give them a confidence boost. Yes, there are always grateful adults for a child’s pursuit of learning. Without supportive adults, they would never have the opportunity to enjoy learning like it is. They would experience many difficulties until they stop reading, then ignore the importance of reading in their lives, and finally ignore the things around them later.
As my readers challenged in class, I would always persuade them to try and try and try until their reading became natural like the air they breathe. Yes, an effort like this must be present in a child’s quest to learn to read and in other learning endeavors as well.
Since reading is basic to learning, most must master decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills.
Athletes have training sessions every day to ensure victory in their competitions. They will not give up on putting their skills on par with their competitors, even their confidence should be above their own limitations.
Like Manny Pacquiao, who failed to beat Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in his “Fight of the Century.” boxing match in Las Vegas.
However, Manny did the best he could, just like his previous winning fights. However, there are always reasons why you lose, but that can’t stop you from pursuing your other dreams in life.
I always told my challenged readers to keep going, no matter what. Every hit at an unfamiliar word becomes a hit to victory the next day because they would surely recognize it in the next passage, poem, or what. Yes, because each day is a new day that is approaching its goal, that is, to become readers and, also, to guide others in the future in their search for fluency and reading comprehension. Then I knew that my wish would be achieved through my constant insistence that they read, and read and read.
It’s so difficult, teacher! one of them would tell me. Yes, but you can make reading easier. I would say. How? One of them would ask. Reading every day until (difficult words) become friendly companions on your reading spree. I would say jokingly.
Giving up too soon is a sign of cowardice. The efforts made should be considered before thinking about lost time and all that, when the trip seems unbearable. Yes, pain and failure are part of the process to obtain the desired results. And going every day, no matter the difficulties encountered along the way, would definitely be a meaningful journey to victory.
And today, several of them have already acquired the skills, and the rest, still making their way to mastery. Word by word.
Yes, until they can read this article sooner than expected.
