Coby the Thornton's Reflection of Sharon the Taberski First Chapter

In the first chapter of her book, On Solid Ground, Sharon Taberski talks about the way children make meaning in reading using phonics, pictures, and what they already know about the subject.
She also stresses that children need to learn to read with text that means something because they expect text to mean something. Hence, children do not learn too well with flash cards.

The things that Tabershiki said in her first chapter sounded exactly like Greg's first lecture. That leads me to believe that Greg has tried her strategies and found them to be very useful. The things that I mentioned above are helpful tips for me to use as I go into the field and teach reading to the students. This past week I was floored when I realized that in Kindergarten the children cannot read very well but then again what did I expect? My hope is to help the children learn how to read a little better. One question still remains, how?
