As I complete my required classes for a MLIS and enter the workforce as a librarian my desire is to work with students that appreciate learning in an environment that is open to learning through challenges and changes while achieving the goals they have before them.
My first blog will be on the topic of the best book you've ever read, why did you select the book to read and who is the author of the book? Have you read other books by this same author? Would you read another book by him/her?

Competency 9 Internet Webpage
Teaching children to read while nurturing their love for reading.
I use this reading program in my classroom and it designed to do just this; nurture and grow a child's desire to read.
Accelerated Reading: A child reads a variety of genres to test comprehension and vocabulary on each book title they read for points. A goal is set for each six-week period, which can be a general for all students or set by individual needs. For the success of the child, they must succesfully meet or beat 85% of their six-week goal by passing each book with 60% or above; the lower the passing score the least amount of points earned for that children for that particular book. My students' get a sticker to place on a chart during the six-week period and then an ice cream if they have met their 85% of their goal. So, students that are struggling readers at this point are not at 10 points for a goal, they are at 6 points and working very hard to get their goal! I'm watching them love to read and enjoying what they're reading because emphasis is read what you like and earn your points. Students are allowed to get a fun book that is not AR related just to read for fun.

Fourth-Grade Students' Reading AchievementGrows Dramatically While Low Scores Decline (ITBS)
As one can see by the resultsof the case study, AR works!
I chose this bar graph in Accelerated Reader http://www.renlearn.com/ar/casestudy.aspx because it reflects the changes that can take place when this program is used correctly within a classroom. It truly nurtures a child's love for reading while teaching them to read, comprehend what is being read, and enhances the use of vocabulary.
Competency 7 Image
My Topic is:
Teaching children to read while nurturing their love for reading.
As an educator it is my job to teach my children to read, but also identify those who can't read and nurture their love for reading. Dyslexia is on the rise in public schools among the student population.
Dyslexic children use nearly five times the brain area as normal children while performing a simple language task, according to a new study by an interdisciplinary team of University of Washington researchers. The study shows for the first time that there are chemical differences in the brain function of dyslexic and non-dyslexic children.
An image I found that I really like and I think it speaks for istelf.

This is an image of the new studies found where dyslexic children use five times more brain area when completing a simple task such as: a language task; reading. When a child with dyslexia is learning to read, it takes him/her five times the desire, time, or effort to complete this task. It is so imparative that they love reading not only because someone has taken the time to teach them to read ,but also nurtures their love for reading.
I used Google with the search query of= dyslexia OR children OR reading
