YPunday, I started a unit on Greek myths with my intermediate group. I
thought I would have to read to them forever, but after the first two days, they started taking over the reading chores. They like it now!

Spoken with experience in teaching! I agree...we have a saying in Africa:
You can change the entire container of water, and risk losing it all, or make sure you keep adding pure, clean water.
Of course, with humans and students, we cannot change their heads, nor should we. They are no tabula rasa, but come with knowledge and skills at various levels of development OR FRUSTRATION! Thanks for this good post; many special ed students respond to the text/questions better when someone reads the pages for them. I know this requires a better student:teacher ratio, or more Aides. Shalom
