Mrs. Diebel's Reading Class

Hello and Welcome to Reading!  Many of you are asking, "Why am I in Reading?"  Let me clarify that you are not in reading because you can not read or did not pass a certain test.  You are in reading to explore the many ways we can work to become better readers and writers.  The skills you learn in this class will carry over into your core classes, help you at highschool and eventually in life beyond highschool.  We will work with different reading strategies, learn and use the six traits, and develop our voices as readers and writers.  Finally, and by far the best part, you will learn to set goals for yourself to help take charge of your own learning.  Good luck and I can't wait to work with you!
