When Kids Can't Read

Ricco hit a great point; he mentioned that it is essential to have his students build reading strategies outside of Language Art class to help prepare them for high school. I believe this book had some good ideas about helping students read that can be implemented in any classroom, first through twelfth grade. With that being said I believe the grade school teachers need to focus more on pushing reading at an earlier age. I just think it will be much easier to build strong reading habits at that age then it would to try to establish them in high school. I think at this age content would be lost working the majority of the time on reading skills. This is why grade school teachers are so important and so under appreciated.
