Learning Developmental Reading
A Prof. Ed. subject – Developmental Reading
Process with stages, purposes with meaning
It uses different skills
Like eating different meals
Do not miss the 4-Pronged Approach
In reading it is an effective coach
Read between the lines the idioms & allusions
There are theories & tactics as guide-ons!

*PEN Poems
I own my heart
it entitles me to love
My selfish want for you
makes over eager to
love
and thus
being love
is enough to make
me believe in love
you as my Lover

They seemed to enjoy
finding nothing AGAINST HIM
IT MADE IT EASIER TO
CHEAT ON HIM SHE told her
secret freind.
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy blight
To progress toward retrogression strain
Our special child was spastic day and night
Struggling along restlessness’ grievous pain.
His global developmental delay
Marked by seizures that caused wearying shake
Made us constantly alert all the way
Aiding him, compassionately awake.
He is now fourteen, showing milestone leap
Driving wheelchair amidst triumphant zest
Learning much along good hygiene to keep…
His orphanage life proves miracles’ best.
God's love* surmounts disability’s need
With caring kindness, heart is surely freed.
*1 John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Synonym of Developmental Slavery
there once was a bashfully bashful shy and mistreated, abused girl
who new only about her own back yard
and in that backwards back yard she did not grow the proper intellect
now in a enforced slavery of the mind
she be not (wasn't) aware
for bondage new it's captive seemingly from birth
planting many unaware involuntary subjection's to provide for others
servitude now embedded in the small outpaces of one's mind
unwilling to be enslaved to the cruelty of it all
i do fight back as if by swinging at the air
with complete brainless misses
by emphasizing my complete right to suffer and contractually perish
to be a moth to flame
flickering my last dire moments in a vivid, and intense violent dance
wings are set to a fiery luminosity
ending has no wisdom of glory
now bondage holds no captivity over me
burden was a cruel inescapable master
inspiration, philosophies, friendships, creativity
Developmental Journeys©
Motion carries to our lips---
Lips form words from thoughts….
Thoughts are very instantaneous----
Can be noted or rejected in an instant…..
Instants reflect audible responses---
Responses lead to words of understanding….
Understanding can be an illusion---
Illusions can make for grandiose sanctions---
Sanctions conveyed to winded philosophies….
Philosophies can bring on negative attitudes----
Attitudes can make and break friendships….
Friendships rapport on equal levels---
Levels intensify when submitted about freely…
Free speech is a gift much in demand---
Demands can hassle the mind---
Mind is but ours to develop….
Development opens to creativity---
Creativity stretches our inspiration….
Inspirations bring about questions----
Questions are a start to narrative wisdom….
Wisdom grants the key to its membership---
Membership tallies rise and rallies all….
All to speak thoughts in synchronized---
Synchronously marries with the ‘soul’….
Soul is a ‘being’ collaborating on life---
Life is……..
