Hello

I'm back to blogging again for my summer reading course. It's another new adventure, and this time we have a group of four bloggers because our class is so large. We'll be writing summaries on the mother blog. (There's another new literacy term.)

Everyone seemed so nervous and it's understandable when you approach something for the first time. Luckily, I've been through this before, and I know that I can handle it. If anyone's reading my blog, don't worry; you'll be okay. If I can do it, you can too!

I'm excited about the course because I want to become a better reading teacher. I'm glad that I'll be working with a student as a case study because I'm actually going to help my son with his SAT prep this summer. I'm also going to tutor a student in reading/writing who will be entering the 5th grade. I've taken on a lot this summer, and I hope that I can squeeze it all in. I'm hoping this course will give me strategies to help my students.
