So now that we all know that popcorn reading is the worst thing possible, how do you go about getting other teachers to stop doing it. I realize we don't have any control over anyone but ourselves, but when you see teachers practicing popcorn reading is there some way to tactfully tell them that it's a bad idea? Should you drop hints or give suggestions? Some of these teachers have been doing it for years. You would think they would want to know that it isn't the best way to have students practice reading, but these teachers could easily be offended. Do you think it is best to just lead by example and keep your mouth shut?

Well when it comes to helping out other teachers with things like that you can always just let them know what you have learned about the subject. We were taught that popcorn reading doesnt really help the students in any way so explain what you learned to the teachers you see using it. If they still think it is a good thing to use ask them why it is effective and if our professor was right then they should have no valid response.
