Chapter 6
"Kids learn more in every academic area when they are highly motivated to read and write, so it's definitely worth a teacher's time in any subject to help students take pleasure in doing these things."
This statement jumped out at me because it makes so much sense. If a student is struggling with the basics of reading and writing, then those struggles will overlap into other subject areas. The same can be said for the student who is able to read and write but does not like to. By showing students that reading and writing can be easy and fun, that confidence and desire to read and write in other subjects will increase. In the past I've noticed that students struggle in one subject like math or science simply because they do not like to read or write. I feel that a little creativity and effort on the part of the teacher could help to eliminate this problem.

...and for some, reading and writing may not be easy or fun but at least they can improve their skills in these areas and see that hard work pays off in many ways. good reflection.
