Wendy- you hit on so many points that I agree with! The idea of showing kids that even as adults we are still learning and working at being good readers. When I was "growing up" as an educator I always heard - K-2 learns to read and 3-5 reads to learn, now with the Science of Reading, we know this isn't a true statement. No matter what age and grade we are always learning to read! I appreciate the mind shift of focusing on the positives - what can he/she do. This approach can move mountains for struggling children and their parents.
