What stood out to you in these chapters?
The fact that reading impacts your intellectual freedom surprised me. I never thought the impact reading could have on your personal beliefs. I also believe that children should become independent thinkers with the freedom to choose their own path.
How does the science of Reading impact your instruction?
Consistant repetition! Working in special education we repeat site words daily to encourage fluency. We also read aloud daily to model what a reading should look and sound like.
What skills are important to be able to read?
I think if they learn to enjoy reading they have mastered the skill of a fluent reader. However, all reading skills will have had to been mastered to their ability to enjoy reading. Its a process!
