Reading #8
Chapter 13 - Active Reading

I again made use of my scanner and scanned in some images of my notes and underlining of the actual pages in the chapter.

Reading this chapter reinforced an idea that I had when I began teaching: that trial and error would be crucial to the endevour. Literacy coaches have to constantly look for strategies that will work for their students. This can mean studies that sanctioned by the National Reading Panel report and it may mean other studies that were not sanctioned for various reasons.

As I have gained experience this year, I have gained tools that work for my classroom. Next year should be much easier and I believe it will continue to get easier until I acquire a tool box that truly works for me and the students I teach.

While I took notes on various pages of the chapter, I will just upload two as examples. I hope this is sufficient.

1) Pg. 398
2) Pg. 399
