First grade is a critical time for children to learn the love of reading. They are moving from learning their alphabet and sounds to blending words together to read books fluently and learning important comprehension skills. The more exposure they have to books, the easier this process is. Scholars love the independence of choosing their own books to read, which allows them the chance to fall in love with reading through topics that interest them. By having multiple options to choose from, as well as various reading levels available, scholars will have options accessible in order to make smart choices about the books they choose. By integrating an independent listening center to my classroom, scholars will experience a range of book titles to expose them to a repetitive reading of various book titles that keep their interest. Having confidence and joy in reading is an important role in being a successful reader and this new option in my classroom will help my scholars meet their reading goals.
