Chapter 4
If You're Born Poor, You'd Better Start Reading.
Joe Queenan
Wow, that is powerful.
After reading this chapter I have made more visits to Green Acres Title 1 room. I am checking out leveled books for my students to read and re-read. I continue to use basal readers and specific reading skill practice in skill based reading groups. I have added genuine literature to their reading practice with books like, Is Your Mama a Llama?, Amelia Bedelia, and The Boxcar Children. This creates a great amount of excitement in the classroom. I have also added quite a few non-fiction books to my classroom library.
I have to say I feel proud of myself. I think I am practicing what this chapter is preaching.
