Why won't they let them read?


I have been around the district and back again and have seen wonderful teaching. However, there is one thing that still amazes me. The lack of student reading in 2nd grade and above. Why is that?

Am I coming in at the wrong time. Are teachers nervous and change their format upon a visitor's entry?

I am not sure. But we need to get the students reading more, often. And I'm not talking about popcorn reading, popsicles stick reading or round robin reading. Let's get some choral reading going on!

Stop the Silence! Stop the lectures!
Let's hit it people!
Hoorah!
