I always felt anxious about reading aloud. And I was a strong reader but it was scary and completely freaked me out. I actually had "no reading aloud" put into Ava's IEP because it came up so many times in middle school!
It’s crazy how many strong readers feel anxiety when reading in front of the class. Puts it into perspective what it must feel like for a struggling reader!
So interesting! So this tweet didn't necessarily resonate with me because it's not something I worried about. I liked reading aloud and would jump ahead a little bit simply to see if I was lucky enough to get the "long paragraph!" However, I related to the feelings of anxiety and worry about being called upon in subjects that I felt less confident about. I hated getting answers wrong and felt embarrassed and ashamed at making mistakes. All kids need more teachers like you. The ones that look to foster environments where making mistakes is just part of the package in how we learn. Excellent read.
