The most important part of this chapter was on page 139 where the students made a list on how they feel teachers could help them read difficult academic material. There are ten tips on the page and each deals with a slightly different approach to helping the kids understand the difficult material.
I am pretty sure that at some point everyone has had problems reading the words out of the book. We may be exceptional at reading but just may not be very good at reading new words out of the textbook. This proves more true in science and history classes where the words are long, difficult and make no sense. Just recently while under my mentor teacher we had the kids read aloud about the Middle East and each student had problems reading aloud some of the names and locations because they are different than our own culture's.
