The first class session offers an inventory of each student’s reading experience, interests, and felt needs. Students indicate story preferences within the categorized stories. A graded story list aids teacher planning. In daily free class discussion, students use questions generated while reading and the thought questions provided with each story. “Appendix C: The Daily Class Discussion Assignment” helps thinking flow. The teacher assigns the Final Written Reflection for that day’s story and begins process on the subsequent story.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003e“Dr. Nance did not see a ‘truck driver’ who could not read or write well—she saw potential.  I cannot really comment on the technical side of what she did, and I cannot tell you how or what she did—but whatever it was—it obviously worked. She transformed a truck driver who had done little reading into someone who finished his bachelor’s, master’s, and has now completed a doctoral degree!  What I do know is that her kind spirit and gentle encouragement spurred me onwards toward a thirst for reading and learning all I can.  The simple reality is this: the work Dr. Mary Nance has done … works! I am living proof!”\u003cbr\u003e —Dr. Ashley Olinger, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Williston, North Dakota\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154759991536,"sku":"9781449780388","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781449780388_p0.jpg?v=1763831253","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781449780388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
