Ch 4 pg 99-109

The "small chunk-big chunk" idea struck an interest to me. In the science classroom I often see the students becoming very overwhelmed with the text reading. After reading this chapter in Readicide I realize that it is quite possible the students do not know how to read "chunks" of text for info. As a teacher, I see that I need to start with small chunks before assigning my students large text amounts. Doing this will increase their likelihood of comprehending what they have read.
