The Search
After beginning to read Sara Kajder's book, Bringing the Outside In, my interest peaked as to how to help the struggling reader. My whole career has been dedicated to the struggling learner. I use the latest programs recommended by the leading universities; I know all the current buzzwords; I am not afraid of work and go over and above my job expectations. My kids continue to fall behind. They continue to be the subgroup that does not meet requirements. There must be an answer. I do not accept that is all there is. Perhaps this is the key that I have been searching for.

As teachers, we are always searching for the key to unlock the minds of our struggling readers. I, too, am hoping that this is what I have been searching for!
ReplyDeleteI believe motivation and parental support are the key. If parents understood the importance of spending some time reading to their children and telling them how crucial it is to become a good reader,it would be a lot easier for us at school.
