Re: Reading Recovery/ To Suzy
Posted by suzy on 3/17/08

    Yes, now that you word it that way, it is a love affair for a life
    time. I work so hard and care so much and these little ones do
    too. I know I make a difference...a big difference. However, we
    have classroom teachers who are very territorial and they just do
    not understand...but I know what has happened with these little
    people when my time with them has ended. They KNOW they are
    readers and writers. It is a joy. I have taught 15 year old 8th
    graders in the past...held back for 2 years to no avail. I knew I
    had to make a difference in the early years. Keep the faith
    Maran! The kids you touch are blessed!
