One topic that stuck out to me in the reading is in Chapter
2. This topic is about how the reading and writing process that people do are
the same for everyone no matter your age. The author states that the writing
process of a college student is the same writing process of a first grader, for
example (21). I found this topic to be intriguing because I never realized that
writing and reading process I do now is the same process I used in elementary
school. As a teacher, this concept is important to know. Because the writing and
reading process is the same for multiple ages and carries throughout someone’s
life, it is important for teachers to make sure students have an effective writing
and reading process they can use. In the early elementary years, teachers can
teach students some ways of writing and strategies of readings. This will be
crucial for students to know because it is a skill and a process they will need
for most of their futures in school. If students gain effective reading and
writing skills when they are younger, that will help them in their later years
of life. The section in chapter 2 surprised me when showing me that writing and
reading process are the same for all people. The section, also, made me realize
how important it is, as a teacher, to make sure students have effective reading
and writing skills.
I really like how you are stressing the importance of effective reading and writing skills! They can definitely go a long way. Your post got me thinking about the writing strategies that I use and how I learned them such a long time ago that I don't even remember learning them! This probably means that I learned them at an elementary level. Here I am as a college student still using them! I think if teachers keep the mindset that these writing and reading skills will carry over with our students even into their adult life, they will put a lot of effort in setting up their literacy block to be as successful as possible!
