The Beginning
ABOUT EYE SEE F.I.R.E
Eye See F.I.R.E. was founded by Carmela Elston (Moore) on November 20, 2020. God gave her the vision to equip todays' youth with the literacy skills to become more efficient in reading. While working at Jacksonville High School as a reading specialist, she noticed the increasing number of scholars who read well below grade level. By talking to other educators in the Central Arkansas area and researching the standardized test scores provided by the state, she knew the problem was larger than Jacksonville. This realization awakened a desire to share a love of reading she long ago discovered as a child.
What Is Literacy?
According to the National Assessment Of Adult Literacy, literacy is the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential. (SOURCE: White, S., and McCloskey, M. (forthcoming). Framework for the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NCES 2005-531). U.S. Department of Education. Washington, DC: National Center for Education Statistics.)
Why Is It Important?
Literacy is important because it is the ability to read and write. You need literacy skills to be able to function in everyday life. These skills can help you to become a functioning adult in society.
When Does It Begin?
According to Brainsprings, Literacy begins in utero. Long before a child is born, she can hear the sound of her mother’s voice. She can hear the rhythm and flow of her native language, and although she may not understand the words being said, a baby in utero is beginning to develop literacy. She is learning to distinguish different sounds, the flow of words, the rhythm of language, and the tone with which it is spoken.
What is DYSLEXIA?
Reading is complex. It requires our brains to connect letters to sounds, put those sounds in the right order, and pull the words together into sentences and paragraphs we can read and comprehend.
People with dyslexia have trouble matching the letters they see on the page with the sounds those letters and combinations of letters make. And when they have trouble with that step, all the other steps are harder.
Dyslexic children and adults struggle to read fluently, spell words correctly and learn a second language, among other challenges. But these difficulties have no connection to their overall intelligence.
