Instead of digressing further from my original blog post here, I’ll direct you to my notes from Dr. Krashen’s keynotes at Encylo-Media in Oklahoma City two weeks ago.

I just ordered "The Power of Reading" last night and look forward to hearing more of Dr Krashen's ideas. I'm wondering if students in Brazil get laptops as part of the OLPC (laptop.org) project, will that result in greater reading and engagement? I suspect it would. I hope so, Josivaldo!

I think we'll continue to hear the call for less technology and more books as long as we continue to use computers in the classroom as if it were still mid-20th century. A report from the eMints project showed a connection between the use of technology and student achievement, but only when the teachers changed their instructional strategies - what does that tell us?

It is a great presentation and I highly recommend it. I practically cheered through most of it. The gist is we need to return to doing “Silent Sustained Reading” with our students and put more books into our libraries, classrooms, homes and hands of “At Risk” students. I wholeheartedly agree. SSR has been one of the unintended victims of the time constraints imposed by the requirements of NCLB in many classrooms – it was not forbidden, but at least discouraged at my school over the last 5 – 6 years.

I couldn't deny what he said is untrue. Actually, everybody has to notice that when you read, you write better. Unfortunately, here in brazil, the students from Public School don't have access the books or they are not stimulated to read by pleasure. Every teacher should read The Power of Reading by Stephen Krashen. I am doing my job. And you? Krashen is fantastic. I couldn’t deny what he said is untrue.
