Welcome to an adventure and an experiment. In this blog I will be writing about various topics in education. I am primarily a reading teacher and an author of reading curriculum materials, so much of what I will write about will be about reading education. But my thoughts and interests certainly roam more broadly, and include in general how children learn and how schools function (or don’t function so well).
Although I suppose that technically what I am presenting is a blog, it will be, at least at the start, something of an anti-blog, more a set of very short essays. Most blogs are for insiders of one sort or another, and so references throughout the blog assume quite a bit of background knowledge. I’ll try to assume no special knowledge on the part of my readers, but only an interest in the topics. I will write most of the posts relatively quickly, but perhaps not quite as quickly as most blogs are written. What I lack in alacrity I hope I will make up for in insight.
Happy Teaching and Good Reading!
