been there!

I've definitely been there! In the end, I decided to back off. If I truly believed that particular student was comprehending the text, and was also really enjoying it, I backed off. My experience has been that this kind of| thing ends up feeding the student's potential for becoming a lifelong reader, which is definitely one of if not THE top priority for me in how I approach teaching reading. The kids I had last year who got so hooked on HP are this year as a fifth grader TOTALLY into that Series of Unfortunate Events series, which is also not what I'd say is the tops in literary pieces, but they love it, | |
and beg and beg for more time to read. What more could I ask for? I have to have faith that if I stay consistent with the minilessons, book talks, and author talks, I can eek in the kinds of titles I'd like to steer them toward.
Sorry this was so long, but I was just thinking about this today! Good luck!
