Chapter 2

The biggest point I got from Chapter 2 was that students who can't read aren't always in the stereotype. They don't always look disenchanted and not paying attention or seem to have wandering eyes during class. Sometimes you have to think about the fact that the student who is paying the most attention, with the widest eyes and seems genuinely intrigued that may not even be able to understand the material he or she is supposed to be reading. It then talked about turning dependent readers into independent readers, which is a very valid point. A lot of students will just go look at Sparknotes for the answers, but if we can get students to actually read and comprehend for themselves, let alone ENJOY it, their reading abilities will get better from it.
