I am determined to instill the love of reading in my students. I direct a book club on campus which falls under that goal. In my classroom, kids are required to read 20 minutes four times a week. They fill out a reading log in which they practice summarizing (reading comprehension) and predicting (critical thinking skills). It is their only homework as reading increases a person's spelling, grammar, critical thinking, and writing skills. My students are reluctant readers unless they can find personal life relevant literature. Please partner with me to foster the love of reading that will last a lifetime with this new literature.
