The most devastating effect is that the children with diverse backgrounds who come to our classes become ashamed to be who they are. The global teacher recognizes that even though there is a distinct difference between children from the nations of the world, they all have a common goal. Their education is the golden path for leading them to a brighter future. Meaningful reading is a lifetime experience that should start early and continue throughout life. The more students observe teachers and parents reading, writing, and communicating, the more they will possess good literacy habits.
Students avoid reading if they find it uninteresting and unrewarding.
If teachers can help by providing a beneficial reading environment in content subjects, learning will improve. Pleasurable feelings about reading and writing will lead to emerging literacy. Students need motivation and guidance in order to become proficient in reading, writing, and speaking in English and other languages. They should be able to solve problems at the level that is necessary to function in the society. This is a big task and a big challenge that we are facing.
