Chapters 8 & 9

These two chapters were very informative & provided many helpful tips. Reading and writing are two very important skills for students to learn and be successful at. Not everyone who knows how to write is a fluent reader and vice-versa. This is why it's important to teach these skills at a young age. In this chapter, it discussed the importance of implementing a writing program at a young age. I thought this was
a good way for the student to learn and be creative. Another good tip was saving the students work and making a portfolio to show their progress. This way the student can go back and see the growth and accomplishments they have made, which will also boost their self-esteem.
