what I found surprising #1:   I never really thought about the fact that as a general education teacher you have to establish an environment to promote reading. It makes sense but I guess I just never connected the dots between the two.  
🗑
what I found surprising #2:   I was surprised that they had to spell out that when doing phonological awareness activities it is imperative that you move from less to more difficult tasks. Maybe it is just me but I feel that this is very obvious.

what I found surprising #3:   I was surprised by how much of this chapter I already knew. All my previous reading courses have me well prepared for my future!  
🗑
What I am still confused about #1:   The chapter talked about 4 different reading program designed specifically for students with reading difficulties or disabilities. I wish it would have given more information on each.  
🗑
What I am still confused about #2:   When is it appropriate to use informal reading inventories and do assess all students or just the struggling readers?  
🗑
What I am still confused about #3:   What exactly are diagnostic assessments? What do they look like? How are they implemented? To whom are they given?
