It is important for students to understand what they are reading. A library collection should have a variety of books and resources. It is important for librarians and teachers to read aloud to their classes. Students should read books they can read, but also that they want to read.

"More reading results in better reading comprehension, writing style, vocabulary, spelling, and grammatical development" (Krashman 57).  The more reading done, the better their reading proficiency.  It is important students have access to reading materials.

There was a general agreement that reading aloud to students is important.  Many of us believe students should have a choice in what they get to read.  It should be something that interests them, and sometimes may not be on their reading level.

There was some difference of opinion about reading incentive programs.  Jazz mentioned the AR program was taken out of her FE school.  While the summer reading program at her library allows students to read whatever they want.  Michelle also likes the summer reading program at her local library.  I mentioned the Great Adventure program and Beth commented that only a handful of her students participated.

Every library does this differently. This conflicts with the idea that students should have free choice while reading. They may like a particular book, but are told "it's too hard" or "too easy" for them. Mary Beth reminded us how it can be hard on kids when they are expected to jump to the next reading level. She shared experiences as a mom with her own boys.
