In a classroom, there is always a group of students who struggle when it comes to reading. A reader who struggles when it comes to reading hasn't fully grasped the concept of figuring out the meaning of texts they are reading or they do not try to figure out what the passage is saying. It's up to the teacher to try to teach the student how to correctly read and help them figure out a way to connect and understand the text they are reading. As a future educator, I plan on helping my students become a successful reader and learn about their struggles when they read.

This semester I am in a second grade classroom for my field placement and I really like how the teacher facilitates her reading time. She splits up the children and the children go to the different classrooms depending on their reading level. This gives the students who have lower reading levels the chance to work on stuff they really need to work on. I was in the classroom where the students with lower reading levels worked together. The teacher wanted to make sure each student felt comfortable and never seemed to get frustrated with a student. I really enjoyed watching this reading block because all of the encouragement and positivity. After their reading block and all of the students met back up, the teacher would ask the students who was the best reader that day or who was improving. Almost everyone had an idea and I really liked how they all had something to say about each other. As a future educator, I hope to be as positive and encouraging when it comes to each subject.
