I am taking this course because it is required for graduation and because I love stories. I am not the greatest at reading and I really only have one favorite author: Dean Koontz; however, I love to travel to many different places just by opening a book.
I learned how to read by first learning to recognize letters and the sounds they make. If I close my eyes and think back to my Kindergarten days, I can still see the letter cards that encircled the room. I think I will teach kids in my class how to read by first teaching them the letters and showing them how they are used with in the words in context. I will also teach them by showing them pictures of objects with the written word underneath. The more print they see the easier it will be for them to read the words around them.
Kids pick up on words quickly and before you know it they will go from saying, "what's that say, to "hey, guess what this says!" I enjoy seeing the glow in the kids's eyes when they can read for themselves.
