Johnston Readings

I also really enjoyed the readings for this week from Johnston. I think that it's so important to get students to read, and like this week's chapters talked about, spend less time thinking about if a text is exactly fit for a reader. In other words, teachers should encourage students to read what they enjoy to get them excited about literacy as opposed to limiting choices that may not appeal to them, making reading more of a chore than anything. I liked the ideas that were given about making a specific text more easy or more difficult as opposed to limiting the texts a student can read based on its level.
