It can be frustrating and leave you feeling like your students will never get ahead in reading. But, that's lie.
Today's episode is all about how I use classroom reading time to impact students' long-term reading success. There's no reason to think you students can't succeed in reading and in school if their home is devoid of books and reading. No, you can't change that, and you shouldn't stress yourself out over it either. Instead, I suggest a more proactive approach but owning what we CAN control...our classroom time.
By intentionally structuring my classroom reading to provide background knowledge, vocabulary growth, and tons of time both reading and being read to, my students see exponential growth. It's simple to do once you know how.
In this episode, find out:
- How I give students a huge boost even when their families never read to them.
- Why I don't use Reading Logs.
- What the MOST important time of my school day is.
- Why I think traditional paper books are so important.
