Despite all of the things we cannot control, we have to figure out a way to help them become readers.]]> 2017-10-02 20:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209752 kabarnett1 https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209810 How can I be better about genuinely communicating the value of literacy to my students?]]> 2017-10-02 20:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209810 https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209862
Literacy is important for a productive society. Illiteracy costs our society billions of dollars annually. There must be a change in the societal mindset that reading is necessary for a happy and productive life beyond school aged years.

I am glad to hear the background of R2S so I can at least explain it a little better to my husband!]]> 2017-10-02 20:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209906 https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209915 I find it interesting how the people who are making these laws about literacy have never been a classroom teacher. ]]> 2017-10-02 20:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209915 https://padlet.com/clwooten/qezl5exf9quy/wish/193209925 Literacy is important to the foundation of our society. Without the gift of literacy, society becomes dependent on the government and is susceptible to poverty and other factors that lead down a hard path.  As educators, we need to take literacy seriously and have a passion to help all our students learn to be literate.  How can we be the most effective?
