Chapter Three: Ricky Moye

Reflecting back on Chapter 3 “Avoiding the Tsunami”, it was an eye opener on how easy implementing state required standards into a young reader psyche can cause readicide. The goal is to help students to become lifelong readers and not to bombard them with guidelines on how to read. Also I could relate to the author with experiencing readers flow and the possibility that my student have yet to experience this while reading a book. Lastly, it was interesting about the three ingredients that can build a young reader: Must have an interesting book to read; they must have time to read the book inside of school; and they must have a place to read their books. All of these ingredients can be confined in the school and controlled by the teacher.
