I finally figured out why we were supposed to take a "reading" course! Since I started the Teacher Ed program, I've been wondering what good a reading class could possibly do for me, a math student. This class showed me that not only is reading a very important aspect of any class, even math, but it can even be expanded on to reinforce what math teachers are already doing. I also really liked learning about literacy, and realized through this course that there are different kinds of literacy, and that teaching to math literacy is a logical thing to do, since it means that students will be able to take their knowledge from math class and apply it outside the classroom.
Thanks for clearing that up!
