A Day in the Life of a Reading Specialist

[@Mfitz90]

Thank you for the tips

[@rebeccalamora3266]

I love that you say "I love you too much to agrue" I definitely want to use that in my 6-8th grade AIS reading classroom. Where do go from there though? Child is arguing and getting upset and you say "I love you too much to argue." then do you let them cool down or have them do the activity that was upsetting them anyway or give them an alternative assignment? This was a great video! Thank you!

Saying that always stunned them. The conversation was over at that point.

Hi, love your video. I'm going for a Reading Specialist interview. I was wondering if you have any suggestions as to answering any specific questions that may arise. I've taught as an elementary teacher for the past 20 years so this would be a totally new type of position.

[@rebeccao6722]

Did you find the college classes for education and literacy challenging? I am thinking about switching my major.

[@spectacularrichbeautybrilli]

How often during the school week do you get to meet with your groups for that one hour?

[@teachreadingabc8241]

Spectacular Rich Beauty & Brilliance every day

[@teachreadingabc8241]

Every day.

[@tamarashawntay8217]

Do you have to be certified?

[@mariahharvey3480]

@TeachreadingABC Thank you for the great video! What does a typical class look like with 4th and 5th graders?

[@teachreadingabc8241]

We work on comprehension skills more than anything.

Hi! Quick question, what do you do the rest of the day? Do you only provide RTI to 10 students for 1h a day? I'd love to know what your schedule looks like. I'm a new reading interv.

[@Kangakool]

Do you get a good amount of time one-on-one with the kids?

[@teachreadingabc8241]

Kangakool I didn’t have one-on-one time unless I choose to meet with a kid during my plan time.

[@astephenlandrum6692]

Where do you begin to become a reading specialist?

[@teachreadingabc8241]

Astephen landrum you’ll need to get your masters in reading education first

[@TStevensfayettek12]

I am also in Missouri. Do you have more than 1 school you teach or is it a small rural community? How many students in a group (how do you know when you have enough?)

[@autumnnicole3743]

I’m interested in this field, but my bachelors degree was in Deaf Studies. Can I still go forward with that?

[@patriciawillson5620]

I want to be a reading specialist but i am 47 is it possible .

[@spicyspinach9899]

Hi are you still around working as a reading specialist!?

[@sharonseymour5187]

What is your degree in ? Do you have your masters degree ? Thanks !!

[@VicandWes]

I honestly think a reading specialist would be the best fit for me in terms of a career. I’m going back to school to become an elementary school teacher. I’m wondering: can I be a elementary school teacher and a reading specialist? Or do I have to pick one. Thanks 😊❤️

[@laurendebar7941]

Reading specialist here- usually you have to get a masters in Literacy and a test like a Praxis test, or just the Praxis with your elementary degree. Check with you state/school

[@fb-vk1zw]

What did you major in for your Bachelor’s?

[@teachreadingabc8241]

Elementary Education

[@arizonaaquarius8398]
