A large percentage of my students struggle with reading comprehension and fluency, which deters them from opening a book. Struggling with reading impacts their performance in all subject areas. Creating a flexible seating options such as a bench, bean bags and pillows will make a comfortable reading center that will encourage a love and appreciation for reading. It is my ultimate goal as a teacher, to foster a lifelong love for reading by creating a comfortable safe reading center. My students love when we read stories together on the carpet. I would love to have a nice area specifically designated for reading books. Increasing students’ reading comprehension and fluency will improve their self esteem and academic performance in all subject areas. I believe improving academic performance will also improve behavior and emotional struggles.
