Groups in P.1...

I believe that my group is great the way it is. We all work well and get along great. We each accomplish all of work, and study at a decent rate. The three of us also usually complete our homework, and we're good about asking questions if we need help. With that being said, I am saying that we all have similarities in my group. Therefore, I think it is perfect.

My response to the "What is reading?" packet.

In my opinion, I think that this was a great article, and it taught me a lot that I did not know before. It is a very detailed passage, filled with several facts.

From this article, I learned that while reading, your eyes move in jerks. This means that your eyes are fixating on every single word 90-95 percent of the time. I was also informed that sometimes, your eyes "regress", meaning that when you skip a word, or skip a line, or don't follow your place while reading, subconsciously your eyes try to find where they were lost at. Also, I learned that during this process, they move at 1/40 of a second. Proficient reading is obviously very important, but while reading this story, I found out that anyone has the potential for their eyes to be trained, meaning that you too can become an excellent reader! :)
