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. ]]> 2018-09-30 14:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287330215 rbran7 https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287331386 "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.  ]]> 2018-09-30 14:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287331386 rbran7 https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287332167 Scholastic's Reading Counts and Advantage Learning System's Accelerated Reader are 2 popular computer reading programs.

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. ]]> 2018-09-30 15:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287338058 rbran7 https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287339477 Marissa said her FE librarian has a whiteboard out so students can suggest titles that aren't in the library. ]]> 2018-09-30 15:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287339477 rbran7 https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287339890 Michelle allowed her 4th and 5th graders to hold their own storytime. ]]> 2018-09-30 15:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287339890 rbran7 https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287340086 Beth likes the birthday book club idea and has done a speed book dating in her 5th grade classroom. ]]> 2018-09-30 15:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287340086 rbran7 https://padlet.com/rbran7/575/wish/287340638 Mary-Catherine likes the idea of letting students know what you are reading.
