    This portfolio is a representation of the observations completed for the class M464 – Methods of Teaching Reading taught by Dr. Hope Smith Davis.

    Personal Literacy Statement for Shannon Brasher While I don’t remember learning to read as a child, I do remember being forced to read books that I had no interest in.

This lead not only to frustration but I would quit reading the book which caused me to miss out on whatever the teacher was trying to teach. As a teacher I would strive to promote a love of reading in my students by allowing them to choose what they read from a selection of books.…
