They learn...
They learn...to listen
As I read aloud Books rich in language, Fresh images and new experiences.
They learn.. .to read
When they are given choices,
Surrounded by real literature,
Entertaining and full of appeal.
They learn.. .to write
As they pen their thoughts In journals filled with responses
Emerging from young impressive minds.
They learn.. .to think
As they share ideas In an environment of acceptance
Where opinions are valued treasures.
They learn...
When I step back,
Allowing them the pleasure Of following their own paths of interest.

Bailey is a Title I reading teacher
