Whew! I finally got my blog started. I am so technically challenged and my computer died this summer and I had to buy a new one. Worrying about setting up the blog was stressful, but it was easier than I had expected.
I have wanted to get a reading endorsement since the first time it was offered, but I was not able to get in that class. I have asked Mary Lee several times about classes for the reading endorsement. I am so excited to be able to participate in this program.
In my experience as a teacher, especially as a Title I reading teacher for many years, I found myself trying to find new and/or different ways to help the struggling readers I served. I hope these classes will help me to become a better reading teacher. If a child cannot read, they cannot perform well in other subjects.
This is also personal for me. I have a passion for reading and have always taken for granted that I could read. I have a step brother who is 53 years old and never learned to read. This has had a major impact on his life. It has suddenly hit me that I have never tried to help him.
