Reading and discussion of the skit may help teachers become aware of alternative solutions that will eliminate the negative attitudes and will accentuate positive practices for reading improvement of students.

As a follow-up, teacher s are divided into groups to discuss one of the problems presented and to report to the total group suggestions for eliminating the problem discussed.
