My students are very precious important people. Many of them are struggling with reading due to learning disabilities, lack of encouragement from home, or they have not found that perfect book yet. I am challenged to instill into them a love for reading. I have developed a classroom that is comfortable, safe, inviting, and a great place to read. If I can get them to love reading here, then that could transfer to a positive mind set towards reading in their futures. A comfy place to read can only help towards this goal! I read aloud classroom novels during the year. Picture this! Each 9 weeks, we start a new novel that I will read to the class. All of the students usually gather around me in MY comfy chair as I read aloud and discuss the novel with them. I would love for each child to have the option to sit in a comfy place as well! Again, this emphasis is to relate reading to an experience of a peaceful comfy getaway where they are allowed to freely use their imaginations and think of a different place or culture or era.
