Practice doesn't -make perfect-it makes permanent. We should model, encourage, and support students to make wise book choices so it will become second nature for them to choose a book. We should respect their choices of literature.

The kids that we serve come from very diverse backgrounds with different priorities and if we don’t have the resources such as a classroom library or school librarian to expose them to reading then who will. When I think about exposing one kid to a lifelong of reading, we have no idea as educators how that has the potential to change the legacy of reading through education. It’s priceless and why we do what we do everyday.

Students are empowered when they own books. This can change their feelings about reading. It is most important to provide books to families in every way possible. Here are ways to support families:
-provide list of student-created recommendations
-share sources
-promote any literacy events (fairs, swaps, donation programs)
-give away books at different events to families

Reading time can allow students to focus inward instead of responding to the needs and the thoughts of the others around them.

Giving student the opportunities to pick their own reading materials is one of the biggest factors on establishing and maintaining the love of reading. This does not come without practice, it is something that has to be modeled and developed on how to pick books in different genres, interest, etc..

Creating a small space of time at the beginning of class to read either from a classroom library or a book of the student’s choice is a good “soft start” to class to allow students to ease into content by centering themselves through the activity of reading.

I agree to get rid of the logs because students have lives outside of school and reality some don’t get home until 7 8 at night. Parents get home from work tired. They have to make dinner and take care of multiple kids the last thing they want to worry about is reading log and asking did you read. The kids will lie and say yes. This also goes for homework, hence why I got rid of it years ago. It’s more work for me and the kids who are busy outside of school. Instead utilize the time you do have while they are in front of you.
