From choice…innovation and creativity are borne

“Now let’s talk about the reader identity for a moment. Yes fluency is important as is phonemic awareness, vocabulary and comprehension but these are tools that measure the progress and literacy of the reader. But what makes a person a reader to begin with? Well, things that are notoriously difficult to measure into neat little numbers like 3.1, things
like: choice, desire, emotion, imagination, to name a few.” ( Excerpt from Jennifer Delvecchio’s blog)
