Reading  is  becoming  harder  and  harder  to  teach  as  we  continue  to  see  an  
increase  in  our  ESL  population
...
   The  
student  needs  to  be  able  to  read  and  understand  the  writing  prompt,  the  math  
problems,  the  social  studies  book,  and  the  science  facts
...
   She  is  struggling  with  reading  and  reading  
comprehension  and  therefor  is  failing  every  subject
...
   These  cases  are  occurring  more  often
...
   
However,  I  have  not  attended  a  single  reading  workshop
...
   
This  is  my  first  year  teaching  and  I  definitely  would  have  benefited  if  it  had  made  
known  to  me  when  the  reading  workshops  were
...
     
 
It  would  be  wonderful  if  we  could  take  the  time  and  let  each  student  decide  
when  they  wanted  to  begin  to  read,  like  Frank  Smith  says,  “Everyone  learns  
different  things  at  different  paces  and  different  times  in  their  life,  reading  is  the  
same,  not  everyone  is  ready  to  learn  to  read  at  a  set  age
...
   In  order  to  get  our  students  to  move  up  in  grade  
levels    and  not  have  ten  year  olds  mixed  with  six  year  olds  in  second  grade,  they  
must  learn  to  read  at  specific  levels  that  have  been  decided  upon  for  their  age  group
...
 
 
As  Louisa  Moats  states,  “when  a  student  is  a  poor  reader  it  doesn’t  mean  they  
aren’t  as  smart  as  one  that  is  a  high  reader,  it  just  means  they  are  less  skilled  with  
the  language
...
   I  feel  as  if  
we  are  very  quick  to  get  frustrated  with  our  low  readers
...
   We  need  to  be  
nothing  but  supportive  and  encouraging  as  our  young  readers  are  learning  to  read
...
   I  try    really  hard  to  give  my  
students  15-­‐20  minutes  of  silent  reading  each  day
...
   
 
I  believe  a  combination  between  the  two  beliefs  on  teaching  reading  needs  to  
occur
...
   
Teachers  also  need  to  give  the  students  silent  reading  time  to  help  them  develop  on  
their  own  without  instruction
...
   We  need  to  learn  to  communicate  with  each  grade  
so  that  we  can  build  off  of  what  the  students  had  learned  the  previous  year
...
   I  have  several  times  gone  to  
teach  my  students  about  specific  things  they  should  have  learned  in  earlier  years  to  

find  out  that  they  don't  know  what  I  am  talking  about
...
   When  I  asked  the  class  if  anyone  could  tell  me  
what  they  were  not  a  single  student  raised  their  hand
...
   I  feel  as  if  a  lot  of  our  students  non-­‐ability  to  read  and  write  isn't  only  their  
fault,  it  has  a  lot  to  do  with  what  we  have  taught  them  and  not  working  with  the  
different  grade  levels  to  expand  on  this
