Reflection #1

The event that impacted my life is the discovery of Reading Recovery. My mom has been a reading recovery teacher for the past five years, I never realized how low some students read in first grade. I also realized through watching her help students that those students who do struggle with reading would probably never read at their grade level without some one on one help. Realizing this as a future teacher I am going to make it a high priority for all of my students to excel in reading.

  1. My wife teaches high school english, if you think the deficits are striking in the first grade then you couldnt imagine what is seen in the 9th and 10th grades! Having a purpose for what you choose to do with your profession helps keep you on track. Nice job.
