Chapter Two Deeper Reading

As a new teacher I would assign the required reading to my students assuming they could read and understand certain words. We would discuss the reading a few days later and I would give them questions to answer to make sure they were comprehending the story(novel). After reading this chapter I found a few different ways to help my students get the deeper meaning of a story. I like the suggestions of first draft readings and metaphors to help students who have trouble with comprehension. I have always used examples to help students understand a new reading. I'm still learning new ways to improve my teaching skills and have enjoyed this book and working with my co teachers.
