Reflection: During my time reading 'Teaching Reading to Middle Schoolers' by Laura Robb, I learned three important things.
- The difference between 'reluctant' 'grade level' and proficient' readers. Reluctant readers are those who read at or below grade level and do not possess the knowledge of reading strategies. Grade level is a student can read at the level they are in now and can perform the minimum amount of reading strategies. Proficient students read above the grade level and have knowledge of many reading strategies.
- In middle school grades, it is best to stop after every chapter and go through to define, what is happening, context clues, vocabulary students didn't know and the key ideas in the chapter.
- Popcorn and Round Robin reading are horrible for a student's self-esteem and reading skills.
