Directions--Chps. 1 & 2 Discussion
PLEASE introduce yourself under the previous post heading. Then for each of the chapter groupings given on the handout, I will put a new post HEADING with a question or discussion topic. If you have a great idea, just email it to Mary Beth.
WHAT stood out to you as very important ideas as you read these first chapters? Please be selective and limit your response to about 300 words or less(no more than 3 paragraphs). If after you have put your comments and you want to respond to another person.....go right ahead. Double click on the word comments to put your thoughts.
NOTE: Blaming reading problems on elementary teachers doesn't solve the problem.
