“Don't just teach your students to read. Teach them to question what they read, what they study. Teach them to doubt. Teach them to think.” ~ Professor Richard Feynman ~ Reading is not decoding.

It is a mystery to me why the obvious, most pleasant, least expensive, and probably the only effective way to improve reading ability, providing readers with access to interesting, comprehensible reading material, appears to be the last resort, and is often not even considered.

Don’t do this to young learners/any learners! Read authentic/rich texts to them and talk about them. Easy! Motivating! Loving! (Can you see the anger/frustration of the young learner in his/her crayon markings - S/he knows that this is a workshxt!!) @CountrysidePDSB @PeelSchools
