In Chapter 4 of Reading
Essentials, the author explained the importance of teaching with a sense of
urgency. In stating this, the author
expresses that the teacher needs to make every moment count. I know that I try to teach at every moment
that I can due to the amount of children in resource, speech, esol, and
ot. In having these pull-outs, it is
vital to know each and every child’s academic needs to maximize the instruction
time.
The
text also expressed the important of exposing the children to various
genres. Our Journey’s Textbook does a
great job of exposing the children to fiction and non-fiction texts. I take this opportunity to show my students
other books from my classroom library to align with our genre that we are
learning about each week.
It is
also so very important to show the children the importance of reading because
we read in every subject in school.
Often we complete addition and subtraction word problems in math, read
instructions to science experiments, and read maps in social studies. I explain that if we can’t read and know out
letter sounds, we will not be able to complete the fun activities in our other
subjects! Readers are leaders!
