This chapter was rather confusing to me. The previous chapter talked about overteaching and causing readacide becasuse of it. Now this chapter is talking about underteaching a book. I guess what I got out of it is you have to find a place in the middle to satisfy our students, without killing reading. I like the idea in this chapter about second draft and third draft reading. Me personally I have to do this sometimes just to understand what I just read. This type of reading helps the reader have more understanding of what you are reading and what you are looking for in the reading. You do not want you students just reading the material and not putting it to use or not understanding any of it. I don't like the philosophy of "big chunk/little chunk", I feel it confusing becuase it it kinda telling you the opposite of the previous chapter. I did like the diagram that the student created with a little chunk of reading. But it stil reminds me of last chapter when it said not to break books down to the point of dumbing the book down. I also find it hard to relate to this chapter because I do not teach a content course and don't really deal with these issues in my classroom. Bein a PE teacher, I did not find much in this chapter that I could use in my classroom.
