 I’m struggling to think of a bad experience as I feel very underexposed to the literacy elements of a class. I once team taught/guided a guided reading session. I felt I lost students a lot throughout the session and they were not all receiving a positive reading session experience. There seemed to be too much time spent on behaviour management, rather than actually learning.

Here is my poster on reading comprehension strategies.

A memory of being read to that immediately comes to mind, is one when I was in grade 3 or 4. We had a teacher that use to come in maybe once or twice a week to just sing with us, she was also a regular CRT. I remember pleading with her to read us these certain books; they were interactive chapter books. At first I could remember the name of them but something is pulling me towards the Goosebumps books. She read the books in such manner that everyone seemed to LOVE. the stories were generally exciting but the way she seemed to include who self in the story with her voice and expression just made it that much better! Also the set up of the books, you were able to choose where you wanted the story to go so that always helped to enrich the experience!
