My co-teacher and I have a newfound goal to promote literacy with our students like never before. We have many students reading well below grade level, and all of the research we have done points to one simple, and seemingly obvious, conclusion– if we want students to become better readers, they must read. They must read each day. They must read independently. They must read with choice. They must read for pleasure. They must read for academic success. They must read and discuss the content. They must read. We would like to build a classroom library with books from all different genres that encompass a seventh grade reading level and above. With your help, our library will include everything from graphic novels to canonical classics! We are introducing the idea of reading choice by having fifteen minutes of uninterrupted reading time in our classroom each day. While students are reading, we will conference with individual students to understand their reading process and troubleshoot ways to grow their reading stamina, lexile level, and most importantly, their love of reading. With the help of the work of Penny Kittle and Kelly Gallagher, we hope to transform our students’ views of reading while increasing literacy both in our classroom and school-wide! I am eager to see how this goal turns out by the end of the school year!
