Shared Reading
did not work
In every project there will be pros and cons. There were a couple of instances I felt I should have handle differently by using different approaches in processing uneventful circumstances. For example, the recruitment of volunteers should have been handled by selecting knowledgeable volunteers that cared about supporting academic growth and the love of reading to young children specifically three to five years of age.

As for the making sure all children’s needs were being met, I considered other types of literacy activities to keep all children interested in reading and working independent on table activities surrounding literacy. I created motor skills for those children that found it difficult to remain stationary during large group reading activities. Those children were still able to hear the reading they were just provided with other alternatives to stay interested. I also took this opportunity to connect with families of those children to seek out support on how to keep their children interested and involved in the shared reading/literacy activities. Each Sunday the class was comprised of two to three consistent faces and a few children that were new to me and the experience each Sunday. On many occasions, I had to start from scratch to get to know children and families that decided to visit the church on those particular Sundays for that hour and twenty minutes allotted for this project. Change often occur frequently, learning how to adapt to change as well as how I welcomed it, showed the maturation process that I was
