Reading of Be Brave Little One





This book was one I had never read before, but my mom used to read me books like this when I was a child. I thought it was inspiring for children (and adults) to be brave and press on through the trials that life may bring. The book provided a simple, yet lasting message to children to be brave.

    Hi Katie! I have never read this book before, but enjoyed listening to you read it. I think it is a great story. I felt that I could relate to it even though I am older than the intended content. It is important for kids to hear these things at a young age.

In relation to our topic of testing for the week, Episode 36 of the Visions of Education podcast discusses high-stakes testing which is relevant to any teacher of any content area. It discusses the impact of standardized testing on teachers and how there are so many outside factors that contribute to the differences in scores among students.

My Thoughts on How Smart Readers Think One of the main topics that Chapter 2 of Subjects Matter addresses is the stages of reading. This is something that I think gets passed over in most classes, especially those that are not English content area classes, but they are necessary to be a smart reader. Therefore, it should be an important part of how we instruct our students to read and engage in literature-heavy assignments, regardless of the content area.
