Miller
(2013), Section 1: Not This: Is There Enough Time? And Is Time Enough to
Support Independent Reading?
“Independent reading
in silence without the kind of support described in this book means these
children suffer in silence”…. I am a special education teacher who provides
support to nonreaders who often avoid reading and are not supported at home by
a literacy rich environment. The only reading opportunities provided for my
students occur in the classroom. It is of vital importance to ensure their
success as future readers by providing quality independent reading experiences
that encourage “real reading” as opposed to “fake reading”. My students often
become professional fake readers who play the part of a real reader.
Chrissa - It is scary to think that a child becomes a "professional fake reader". What are some strategies you use to keep that from happening?
