Hopefully, this will spark their desire to keep reading and build their knowledge while having fun.

Experience

I have been a classroom teacher for a decade and believe that students need quality, engaging passages when it comes to Reading. Instead of handing them whatever you have access to, I want to provide passages on topics that students want to read about. Hopefully, this will spark their desire to keep reading and build their knowledge while having fun.

Teaching style

I believe questioning is the root of great learning. Asking the right question that challenge students without frustrating them will create a spark that cause them to want to seek out answers.
