Why Was Kenny Reluctant to Read in Front of the Class?
InReading for Pleasure, Kenny Pieper has gathered a range of tried-and-tested strategies to get kids reading, and enjoying information technology. We hear also oft that kids don't read any more: Kenny thinks it should exist every teacher'south mission to prove this isn't true. In a squeezed curriculum it tin can be tempting to accept pupils' lack of reading and brand excuses that there is non enough time to give to the 'luxury' of personal reading. Teachers practise this at our peril. Reading is the essential building block of farther literacy development as well as a skill, hobby and habit that we can take with us forever.
Kenny Pieper takes the act of reading for granted, equally many – but sadly not all – adults do. You're reading this right now. All the same, this isn't the case for everyone. Kenny teaches kids whose lives are terrifying obstacle courses of reading-related problems. They know they struggle with reading so they attempt to avoid reading at all costs. They get out school, not merely unaffected by this foreign reading matter, but saddled with a great bargain of emotional baggage about being an outsider, even more than entrenched in a belief that reading is for others more than intelligent than them. And so there are the children who can read perfectly well, simply chose not to, unconvinced of the importance of reading in their lives. What departure does it make to them? Nosotros have to reply that question in schoolhouse. We take a duty to put an end to illiteracy and aliteracy. Kids need reading role models and, every bit a teacher, that role model is you. You may be the but adult who that reluctant reader will ever encounter reading. Teachers are critical in giving all children the gift of beingness able to read well and to value reading.
