Week 11 Reading



For this week's reading, I read Seeking Help for a Struggling Reader: Seven Tips for Teachers. I was curious to see if it would give me any information that I didn't already know or that I haven't already tried. Three things that I did learn from this article is that: parents often need suggestions of what to do as well, so I should inform them more often of new ideas that I am trying at school, look for tutoring services if I cannot provide them myself, and attend professional developments in the area of need (which I have been doing and is why I choose to get my Master's in Reading), but most importantly, I learned that I should stay current on what resources are out there for me to use with my struggling readers. I have asked several other teachers of what methods they use and have used suggestions of theirs, but I should try to do some more research on my own.

It may seem impossible at times, but we cannot give up on our students! They make progress daily whether it be by great leaps or small ones.
