I really thought that this book was wonderful. From the layout of it to the information it contained, I found it to be so helpful. I could relate to the stories Beers told and they made the reading more interesting. I had carried this book around with me throughout the semester incase I had time to read during the schoolday. Many teachers asked me what I was reading and I suggested it to all of them. A set of 5th grade teachers at an elementary school I work at even borrowed the book for a week to get ideas from.
The information obtained in class was also very useful. Everything we learned and all the ideas we gained were awesome. Although I may not have always had a passion for reading or an understanding for students who couldn't. This class has helped me understand students on both ends of the spectrum. I have recently became aware of how many students have difficulty reading. Pursuing Special Education, it is important to be able to find ways to assist these students. The information gained can be used both in classrooms with other teachers or in one on one or small group situations.
I enjoyed this book too. I thought it was so informational, but really easy to follow along and read. While I'm not in special education, I still think it's important to be able to reach ALL students and know how to get them engaged in reading and comfortable with a book in their hands. This class was a lot of fun and I loved how it was set up for us to use what we were learning in the class.
