There are a lot of unanswered questions in this fast-paced world and one of them is the famous “Why Johnny won’t read?” which encourages readers especially the men [metaphorically speaking, Johnny means boys in general] to still keep up in their reading even if it means pushing oneself against prevailing circumstances. Shedding light on the issue is a commentary published on the third day of July, 2014 entitled “Why Johnny won’t learn to read” by Robert Pondiscio, a distinguished writer and speaker on education and education-reform issues.

Sponsors of literacy, according to Brandt, are beneficial because they are well educated, have experience in the field of literacy, and are willing to help others improve and let them into the world of literacy. Specifically, Brandt states in her scholarly article “Sponsors of Literacy” that “Literacy as a resource becomes available to ordinary

To meet this challenge, content area teachers can focus on strategies that will holistically guide students’ before, during, and after reading (also known as into, through, and beyond). (243). Ruddell (2008) surveys strategies and instructional models that will guide student reading, including: Think Predict, Read, Connect (TPRC); Webquests; KWL Plus; Predict-Locate-Add-Note (PLAN); Three-Level Reading Guides; Anticipation Guides; The Prereading Plan (PReP); Questioning the Author (QTA); Reading Response Groups; Read, Encode, Annotate, Ponder (REAP) and iREAP. Lastly, Ruddell (2008) acknowledges that, while a study skills perspective to teaching reading is overall ineffective, study skills instruction can still be integrated into content learning. Recommendations include connecting study skills to real-life as opposed to worksheet type study skills training, with emphasis on particular strategies such as Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) and strategic usage of underlining and

How might some key ideas raised in the unit readings develop or improve educators’ understanding and/or enactment of curriculum? Curriculum refers to the means and materials with which students will interact for the purpose of achieving identified educational outcomes (Edwards,2013). It is vital as a future educator to become familiar and understand what the curriculum is and the purpose of having a curriculum in place for education. After completing the essential readings for this unit I have come to an understanding that my preconceptions about the curriculum were very limited and that through these readings there are many key ideas raised that can improve educators understanding of the curriculum.
