Independent Reading

"Research clearly shows that the reading of meaningful, connected text results in improved reading achievement (Anderson, Wilson, & Fielding, 1988; Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, & Wilkerson, 1985; Elley & Mangubhai, 1983; Ingham, 1981; Taylor, Frye, & Maruyama, 1990)."
Things I will do in my future classroom to make independent reading successful:
-Set aside planned reading time.
-Provide time for independent reading and materials for independent reading.
-The teacher must monitor student's reading. Conference with student's about what they are reading.
-Have time for students to share what they are reading.
-Help students develop a love for reading.
-Partner struggling readers with stronger readers.
-Have a time for literature circles.
-Provide students with different types of reading materials (magazines,comics,etc.)
