Module 1: Powerpoint

This Powerpoint was really helpful to me by breaking down some major ideas. Since I teach young children, I liked being able to see the stages of reading development and where my students should be now and where they are working towards in the long term. Seeing them as readers in the bigger picture,  will help guide my instruction. In addition, I really like the idea of being able to treat each student as an individual based on the background, home life, etc. Sometimes I think we get too caught up in everything else and forget that our students come from different experiences and situations that we need to take into account. By doing this, we can help them become better and strong readers. It was also good to get a refresher on RTI, ELLs and IDEA in the powerpoint.
