Teachers know their students and this means perhaps charting or classifying in some way each students likes and dislikes. By knowing each of your students individually reading will more fun and interesting for everyone in the classroom. This is very important to me because the Internet and the computer are very important technological resources for our students. It is up to the teacher to take the initiative to become computer literate and these skills passed to our students. In working with my group for this presentation I was surprised with how much of my prior knowledge I was able to link together.
Students use their prior knowledge, to implement context throughout their reading.
And if we will all have classrooms with a wide base of diversities, we must modify our teaching to reflect these differences. Literacy always meant to me a person having the ability to read. Literacy has many definitions for many people. I think that the person has to be able to function in their way of life and as a future teacher it is my responsibility to make sure my students are reaching their potential. AS a future educator it will be my responsibility to provide the best education for my students.
