Let’s get wild!

Something that Miller talked about that really stood out to me would be carving out time in your class for reading, to make sure you have some sort of a schedule. Considering you don’t always have time for every activity in class, it would be good to have a schedule. One the other hand that could be challenging because you might not have all the time you need to carve out the silent reading, or small group work.

What I am most excited about in teaching reading to children is that I want to teach them to love it. I want them to be able to enjoy it, I want to give them choice, because I feel like I never got that as a child. So growing up I have always had this feeling of hatred towards reading, because I just don’t enjoy it. But I want to open the opportunity for students to fall in love with reading. What I am most afraid of is coming off to my students that I don’t enjoy reading. Because I know if they have a teacher that does not like to read, why would they want to do it? I want to have that feeling of enjoyment when I read.
