I just finished watching an interview with Lori Scott about “struggling readers.” I think this was a very useful interview because every teacher at some point will face a struggling student. I am not quite sure what the numbers are, but I am positive that there is a least one struggling reader per class. I noticed a common theme between the interview and courses at the University of Windsor. Both keep repeating the importance of knowing that each child is unique. It is important to take a few strategies and test them out with each individual child. Some strategies may work with various children but not with others. This is why as a teacher it is essential to link strategies to the interests of the children. One is much more likely to participate and be attentive if it is of interest. Another commonality with the interview and the courses taken at the Faculty of Education is the usefulness of group activities. Lori Scott stresses that small groups are effective with struggling readers because children feed off of each other and learn from one another. In conclusion, with any skill in which one would like to master, practice is a central key. However, so that the children can hear and be able to pronounce words correctly a teacher should always be present to help.
