Through my discussions with other teachers this week, I have
noticed some common ideals. Every
teacher I spoke with this week acknowledges the importance of literacy
instruction as a kind of pre-requisite to other learning. Teachers from 3rd grade to middle
school mentioned that, if a student does not know how to read, they will likely
not be successful in their other classes.
Many other teachers also commented that early literacy intervention
is key in literacy instruction. They
believe that struggling readers who receive additional support early on tend to
be stronger readers as they progress through school.
The general consensus: Literacy is a foundation upon which
other learning is built. Some students
struggle to develop important literacy skills.
These struggling students will benefit from having their needs met early
on in school.
