“There’s no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are just kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books. We need to help them find the right books. There are millions of kids in this country who’ve never read a book they love and that needs to change.” ~ James Patterson

Teaching Beliefs Believe every child can learn. Start on time. If someone is late, they should miss something. Create clear expectations. Make it possible for every student to be successful. Parents are important. Make certain every student reads independently every day.
