EDRG 3321 Mon- Wed. Author Profile/ Information I found useful in Ch1

EDRG 3321 Mon- Wed. 11am -12:20 class

Hi every one! My Author profile is going to be Children’s Author Marc Brown.
At first I was frustrated because I wrote three authors name, then I could not find web links that would give me more information about the Authors.
Finally I figured out that I was researching under children books, so just for your FYI make sure you press web search on the bar. Some of the links that are very helpful were;
Kidsreads.com this site gives the student a brief history about what motivated and inspire to write.
Pbskids.com is also very helpful because it talks about his biography, his family, and what still continues to motivate him to write. Their also the PBS show “Arthur”.
Reading Rockets was another useful website I found very useful because there is an actual video to watch about the interview he had.
This website as well was very useful www.edupaperback.org/showauth.cfm?authid=16 –
This link has information on different authors and illustrators. I hope this websites are helpful, they are to me.
As far as Chapter 1 I like this chapter because every section is very important and it gives lots good information, but the section I enjoyed was the Developing Good Reading Attitudes page 10 this section gives us important points of what to keep in mind when helping students to read. The teacher has to have good and positive attitudes. Sometimes it can be frustrating but then you would not be good teacher if you do not have patience, when children are trying to learn. Children can almost smell your behavior, I know I did as I was growing up and you either help them develop self esteem or take away the desire to learn. I used to get so scared and tense up when they would call my name to read, I had a strong Spanish Accent and my teachers would correct me with this frustration and assert ness. I was literally scared to read.
