I think I've decided to pursue best practices of research based reading as my Pintrest inquiry. Over the years literacy has become a huge focus in the education world because reading is so vital to being a part of and succeeding in society. A large portion of research has been done on various reading techniques and literacy makes up a great piece of the Common Core standards, so as a teacher it is important to learn about various reading practices, preferably researched based, and decide whether or not these practices are right for your teaching style.
As a teacher, you need to understand that not every child learns the same, therefore there is no single method of teaching reading that will work for all students. It is our job as teachers to help our students be the best learners they could be, so we must be educated on reading techniques that will work for various types of students. By learning these research based methods and understanding how each of our students learns best, it is highly probable to improve the likelihood that our students will be successful readers.
Being in the University of Iowa's Education program as given me the opportunity to collect various books and other readings about reading strategies that I would like to discuss, research, and share with others. I have also kept in touch with past literacy professors that I would like to talk to to get ideas for reading research I can find on the university's online database. I have had the opportunity to read books written by Debbie Miller and I have absolutely fallen in love with her practices, so I would like to look into her practices a little more and maybe authors that are considered to be relatable to hers. I hope to find interesting, purposeful, and successful strategies that teachers can try and use in their classrooms.
