I liked this because teachers know what good readers do for the most part because we read. We know what we're thinking and how we are good readers. Therefore, we know what our students who are good readers are doing. We need to teach them the basics like inference and talking or thinking about it on their heads as they read. As teachers, we can help them do this. We can do it aloud for them or put them in small groups. All good readers and struggling reading know who the good readers are. However, most of them cannot point out why they are good readers. This is when we need to come in and help them figure that out.

Chapter 7 in WK
The part in chapter 7 that I liked the most was the very beginning. Many readers don't understand how to make it make sense in their head. The quote that goes along with is "What they don't observe are all the times good readers reread a passage or a sentence, all the times they ask themselves, "What is going on here?""
