During this time I was pulled out of class for "special" reading help with Mrs. Muerer. I loved going with her. I felt safe reading with her because she wanted to help me learn. She made me feel special.

These books were the first self-selected stories I read once I learned how to visualize what I was reading. I could see movies in my mind and that was exciting. No to mention the adrenaline rush I felt as I read them. ]]> 2016-09-13 03:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_c_moro/xku5dtkpofc/wish/123333531 elizabeth_c_moro https://padlet.com/elizabeth_c_moro/xku5dtkpofc/wish/123333689 Being a young girl from the Bronx every time I walked into the store it felt like I was visiting Disney World.

I remember looking forward to reading aloud in class and discussing the text structure. I was no longer afraid of round robin.]]> 2016-09-13 03:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_c_moro/xku5dtkpofc/wish/123335019 elizabeth_c_moro https://padlet.com/elizabeth_c_moro/xku5dtkpofc/wish/123335122 Night was the first book that ever made me "feel"  deep emotion. This memoir truly captivated my heart and caused me to reflect on the human condition even after the school day was over. It is a story that I recommend to all people even those with weak stomachs simply because it is so powerful and forces the reader to re-think their views about humanity, politics, and even religion.]]> 2016-09-13 03:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_c_moro/xku5dtkpofc/wish/123335122 elizabeth_c_moro https://padlet.com/elizabeth_c_moro/xku5dtkpofc/wish/123335913 My College Years- I am captured by story telling when it is in a series that follows a female character facing adversity. This type of fiction draws into the story as if I am the main character. They demonstrate the strength and power of women in society.

It makes for a great read aloud or guided reading book. This is also a current struggle of mine simply because I am geared towards specific genres that I love more than others. So I have to be intentional about the read alouds that I do choose with the understanding that my students need to be exposed to a variety of genres, not just my favorite ones.

Why? Because I want my students to feel empowered through language and literacy.
