My Philosophy in Teaching Literature
I believe all children can learn to read in a classroom that is integrated with differentiated instruction and has a safe and engaging learning environment which is rich with a variety of literature to light that spark in the children to want to learn.

Students struggling in reading, will be able to participate too, by choosing a favorite drawing to share. Students will also design invitation cards for their family to attend the reading café. Snacks will be provided by me.
My assessments will be an ongoing, daily monitoring of student progress by making observation checklists, and then assessing problem areas. I will try to address these problem areas by mini lessons to the whole group, small group, or individuals. If there is still a problem, then a more comprehensive testing will have to be implemented to determine a course of action to help the struggling student.
Parental support is very important in order for the child to be successful in a classroom. I have added to my teaching knowledge that most of the parents are
