Being a Reading Specialist candidate, the article this week was a review of most classes I have taken at AUM. Teachers must work to pull together the best resources and make sure they have a way to reach every learner. Technology can play a role in this ever-important responsibility. This article presents activity types for the reading process (pre-, during- and post-reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency), and the writing process (pre-, during- and post-writing, conventions and genres).
