Brightnewday-how funny; you have them near the end of their school career and I have them near the beginning. For me they want to learn everything and say "I can't read" if they can't pick up any book from the library and read it! I have to explain that reading is a process and you go from reading small words to big words but everyone will get there....
Wow, you get the ones who want to learn to read, while my students know how but don't want to! When I tell them what we are reading next, they ask if there's a movie instead!
