3 books and attempt an AR test.   I have talked to him about this but unless I am sitting next to him he continues to do this.]]> 2021-12-03 19:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928045994 Educators struggle with understanding phonemic awareness and phonological processing which contributes to the struggle for reluctant readers. https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928048142 2021-12-03 19:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928048142 https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928050319 I have a student who is a reluctant reader but shows no evidence of having difficulty with either decoding or fluency based on an individual reading assessment. He did read an I Survived book but it took him a long time. He then tried reading My Side of the Mountain because he loved that as a read aloud last year, but he just abandoned that as well. He can't seem to tell me what he likes to read.]]> 2021-12-03 19:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928050319 https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928053829 Do you think it is OK for fourth graders to read soley graphic novels? They are what a lot of students gravitate towards. Do I want them to transition to reading a more traditional chapter book?]]> 2021-12-03 19:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kfesta/4h4jbam77g6009ob/wish/1928053829
