“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36   , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January   37   air．

Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really   38    thing to do．But then she took it a step   39   ．“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物） and   40   him in front of the open door．“Touch．” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a   41   position．She  42   him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became   43   ．Over the last few days I have been with Kolby．Each time he comes in I bring him back to the   44  door and ask him to close．There have been   45   in the beginning, but lately more and more successes．

However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again  46   he will close the door from a distance．But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the    47    will be completed, and, with the way things are   48   , completed quickly．

What a  49   treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the  50   I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．

A wish is just a wish until you decide to take  51  ．Once you   52  the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of  53  ．Once you want to accomplish a goal, and  54   that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs to be done．Just  55    doing it．

So long as teachers fail to distinguish (differ) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient(有效的) system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.
