"You CAN'T be SERIOUS!" was my immediate thought when Chandra, friend and now fabulous website developer, snapped this quick picture...and then said it was going on the website.  This IS serious business...but this picture? It made me think about the fact that some of our best ideas come at the strangest times and places--just walking into a room, riding in the car, cooking, cleaning, working with students, walking, trying to go to sleep--they don't necessarily happen just when we sit at our desks dressed in our best business attire.  So thank you, Chandra, for giving me motivation to keep these random ideas and put them to use as much as possible!  Here we go again!

  Welcome back to the world of Ready Reading!  It is encouraging to see all who visit the Ready Reading site! I hope you are enjoying the various materials that can be used in teaching students how to read and I love hearing from you and answering your questions.  Meanwhile, please continue to browse the site and click on the images of the sample pages to see the materials and activities for student participation. I'll be delighted to answer any questions along the way and refer you to other classroom teachers for their unique perspectives.
