In the fourth grade, I really start teaching my students the love of reading. In my class. I try hard to get my students engaged and loving to read independently. I always have "special" books behind my desk that they love to come ask me for suggestions. I have books at all reading levels, but they look age appropriate for those that aren't reading at grade level yet. Another way I get my students interested in reading is through my, ever so exciting, read alouds. I'm usually able to read through about three books a year. As I'm reading to them, my "not yet" kiddos follow along in the book, helping them see the words and understand the context better. With the predicament we are in this year, I am not going to be able to finish our last book Savvy. I plan on recording myself reading the rest of the book to them. For those who are not quite reading yet, they can following along with me as they watch and listen. The others are, and probably will, be welcome to follow along as well but if they so choose, they can finish it on their own. Most of my students, after reading Savvy, always check out or buy the next book in the series, Scumble. That's how much they love reading after being in my class!
