These chapters introduced the various theoristys such as Piaget and Vygotsky. I talso addressed how we learn and what affects our learning. It seems I can not escape the theorists, so far every education class I have had has mentioned Piaget and vygotsky at least once. I agree their therories are important, especially Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. I believe the ZPD is important to know and figuring out how to teach in it is essentail. I find it difficult though to figure what the ZPD for each student is, I guess it is something that I will learn through practice.
I really enjoyes the third chapter. I like solving problems, but I am alittle dense at figuring out their is a problem. The lists of signs of at risk readers will be beneficial for me in the future, since it gives me a check list. It can only be a starting point though since every child is different. I would have to be careful of not discriminating against my students based on reading backgrounds.
