I agree that it is important to let our students see or hear that everyone has picked up a book and struggled with it for whatever reason. I have brought in a pile of books that I have purchased and for one reason or another could not finish. I have demonstrated my struggle reading chemistry text or my child's college text about internet security. I want them to know that even skilled readers come across text that is difficult.
I am also going to use the instructional assessment chart during parent conferences and IEP meetings, it is a wonderful resource to include in each of my students' folders to highlight what the student is able to do and what skills we are working to develop.
