QUESTION 14 OF 30

What is your philosophy on reading?

This is an answer that you should be very thoughtful about, write down, and practice communicating. It is essentially going to be your qualifying statement as to why you do what you do. Consider why this job matters and what doors reading opens for students.

"My philosophy on reading is that every child should have access to high-quality reading instruction since it is an incredibly complex and important form of communication. Developing healthy readers from a young age is of utmost importance. The ability to read impacts far more than a student's education, and I am passionate about building students' confidence and curiosity through reading."

Anonymous Answer

My philosophy on reading is that all students should be given good solid reading and writing instruction. Reading is a complex and very important form of communication that children should be taught from an early age. Exposing them to wonderful, rich literature and proper instruction at an early age will enable them to be competent, lifelong readers.
