Since I would like to teach mathematics, I really did not think reading would apply much to my field. However, I am quickly learning that is NOT the case. To be able to be successful in a math class, you have to be able to interpret what problems are asking of you. It is important for students to understand different kinds of reading stategies because what may be beneficial in a history class may not necessarily work in a math course. I hope to be able to show my students that reading is important in my classroom and is something that they do not have to be intimidated by! I know that a lot of students get bored of reading and do not always comprehend the things they have read. I believe it is my job to help change that. If I can show my students that being able to read the subject makes the course much easier, I can hopefully motivate them to work harder in perfecting their reading skills.
