Chapter 1

Hi all,

I liked the overall message of Chapter 1 that perspectives of reading and writing ability need to be looked at from a variety of strategies and resources. Every child learns differently and approaches reading and writing differently therefore teachers need to base their instruction from a combination of sources to determine which strategies will work best for the student.

The information in this chapter should be common sense to everyone involved in a child's education, unfortunately it seems that sometimes the decision makers do not take the child's best interest into account.

Have a good weekend!
