Yes, I Want To Read was written by an author who has high interest in what makes nonreaders read, as well as helping them enjoy books and develop a love for reading.
In working with pupils from beginning young readers to adults, she has come to some meaningful realizations through her observations from her work. She has observed that most young readers and adults alike, who learn to read, have a desire to read. Another observation is if they are given some reading materials that talk about a graphic illustration or an image, this will help them see meaning in the words they are reading on the printed page and develop a joy for reading.
The text in this book has been designed to meet the needs of young readers and adults who have a strong desire to read. They should be able to begin reading while using this material. This book has just enough repetition to reinforce readers to feel positive about their reading throughout the text.
Some important things that one will read about in this book are the body and its parts. Throughout the book, one will see the body being talked about from the head to the toes, with each statement being meaningful.
The author has worked with students from many different countries. Some of them spoke little or no English when they arrived in America.
Many of the children had some difficulty learning to speak and read English. The author has used her educational training and experiences to develop a variety of reading and writing strategies to help these children.
Her main field of interest is education with emphasis on teaching reading and writing. Her bachelor's degree is in Elementary Education. Her master's degree is in the Teaching of Reading, grades k-12. She has completed numerous courses beyond her graduate degree in Reading to enhance her educational development in reading and writing.
She is affiliated with various professional bodies including the National Education Association, Fairfax Education Association, International Reading Association, Kappa Delta Pi--an Honor Society in Education, the Board of Directors--American Biographical Institution and the Women's Inner Circle of Achievement.
She plans to continue teaching and writing to help make reading and writing fun for beginning readers.
She hopes this book will bring a lot of fun to its readers, in addition to the learning.
This book was written for the person who wants to read or learn more about the parts of the body whether the reader is an adult or a child.
Yes, I Want To Read is designed to introduce new words while providing information the reader needs to help in understanding the body, as well as some of its parts and their functions.
The writer hopes that beginning young readers, and adults alike, who are learning to read, write, and speak English for the first time will find that this book is a very useful tool. In its draft form, it has helped many persons who are learning English as a second language to be successful in reading.
It has also proven to be beneficial for those who already speak English but have not learned to read. It is a neat and interesting book, and all readers should find it enjoyable.
