The points for reasoning for literacy are truth.  We need to promote this reasoning to our students and families.  Students struggle to see the future and have the understanding to why literacy is so important.

Conversation in the classroom is so needed but the author also stated we have to make sure that the conversation is good conversation pushing each of them to try to understand and hear others thinking to reevaluate their knowledge.

A section of the text that caught my attention was on page three. It's powerful to think that visible learning for literacy is important for the five specific reasons listed. Number one hits close to home for me. Literacy is the antidote for poverty. Growing up in a single parent home with four children, things were tough but we were good students. Literacy really does make your life better. All five points hold true to me personally. Therefore will be for many of our students.

I loved when the author brought to our attention that surface learning is memorization and deep learners seek to interact with ideas. So true!!! Students need time and practice to master this skill and ability. Quality talk should be occurring a daily basis. As the author stated, just because they are talking doesn't mean they are deep thinkers. When my students turn and talk, one is the listener and the other is the talker. Then the next time they switch. They have to share what the other said. Hold them accountable and leads their thinking to a deeper understanding.
