I signed up for the Reading Endorsement class, because I wanted to thoroughly understand how students develop the skill of reading, how to determine what a child needs when they struggle to read, and be able to implement effective strategies to increase their reading skill. However, sometimes I have to do things the hard way to truly learn. Every article I read must be marked up and summarized in my own terms. While I may be the only person who learns this way, I thought I'd share some articles that I found helpful to me this week as I was reviewing the material from last week. These helped me to explore the concepts Barb has been addressing in class.
