I am not a
huge fan of doing formal reading, for the simple fact I do not have the time on
my hands. When I was younger, I had a bookshelf full of my favorite books. I
would read for fun, before bedtime and anytime in between. Going through school
and being forced to read books that really did not capture my interest made me
like reading a lot less. I do however informally read everyday, like most
people. Things that I do love to read are social media sites: Facebook,
twitter, blogs. Opinion articles on serious and non-serious issues in the world
are my favorite reads. Arguing with people is something I like to do, not to
make someone mad but to see how others react to other varying opinions,
thoughts, and ideas.
There are
many different ways to teach and interpret reading and writing. I want my
future students to learn to find a topic that interests them and be able to
engage themselves into the reading or writing topic. There are standards as
future teachers that we have to meet but I think there are alternative ways
that we can make reading a writing more interesting and engaging for our
students.
