  • Responses to Reflections on Framing Literacy 9, 

 

    Hi, my name is Peggy, late signing on, but I've finally arrived. I'm interested in becoming a reading teacher and eventually teaching English.
    In Chapter 5 and 6, it was interesting to read about solving the problems of children on different reading levels and how to use different strategies in helping them develop from emergent to literacy, from print to cueing, to become an effective reader.
    I feel the only way to become an effective reader is to read. So we must encourage students to learn to put together cues (while reading) guess at words (take risk). Group and independent activities will build their self-efficacies, to empower them to take another step in the reading process. To improve their quality of reading, we should find out what their interest is; have they traveled outside the home, do they visit zoos and museums; other activities they enjoy.
    Students will read books on their favorite topic. I think trying to figure out a strategy for helping all student learn to read is going to be a challenge. -Peggy

Peggy- Challenge is an understatement. So many other things get in the way and you have to keep pushing what ever gets in your way out of your path and keep going, and fail, and try again. It's great that we have a class such as this to use as a resource. Justin
