What are your take-away ideas from the Miller text so far? What ideas are resonating? What seems challenging about teaching reading? What are you most excited about in terms of teaching reading? Most afraid of?
I am loving the Miller text. I think the concept of reading in the wild is not only enlightened but interesting and important. I really like how she uses example from her life. Often times in books it is basically like someone is lecturing you but this is different. This I feel like she is letting me into her world a little bit, and it is much easier understanding a her than a textbook.I am so scared to teach reading because I understand what she is saying and how to do it, but putting into practice is a whole different thing. I am interested in helping kids find a unique and productive outlet for things that trouble with them. I think books can either take someone away from a bad situation or empathize.
