Reading and RICA

So I would'nt necessarily say I was the most studious student growing up. Funny how it can take going through college to actually learn how to study and learn effectively. Speaking of effective...I am retaking the RICA, which is California's assessment of ones ability to effectively teach English and reading. I am actually glad that I have to retake it as I am learning phenomenal and copious amounts of information that I would not have otherwise. I remember teaching English on a weekly basis in Guatemala and how I never realized how difficult of a language it was until then. A great link for learning how to teach reading is:

As this is likely my weakest subject in regards to content knowledge and ability to teach I am truly excited to put this material to work.
