These emergent storybooks will be used to launch our reading workshop to create avid readers! Emergent storybooks hold rich story language with pictures that show plot, characters, and setting. These can trigger the story for the reader. Children learn to read with greater ease when they have been read and can reread good strong literature that does not rely solely on phonics. My students will use these familiar storybooks to strengthen their reading muscles on the way to becoming conventional readers! With your help, each table in my classroom will have a communal bin filled with a variety of storybooks. Each students will be able to select an old favorite of their choice during reading workshop and read and retell it to their partner. They will not only be developing a lifelong love of reading but an understanding of how books have meaning and tell a story. Having access to books is a game changer! Studies have shown that the difference between a child getting a high school diploma or not is by a mere 500 books over the course of their education. My goal is to help them gain access to books that instill a love of literature for years to come.
