Another tool that I use to
encourage reading is by making it a priority in our Literacy work. In our
class we try to do centers every day for 40 to 60 minutes. Each child has
a center checklist that they complete throughout the week and turn in on
Friday. The best part, in my opinion, is that they are learning to work
independently and to be responsible for their work until it is turned in at the
end of the week. Two key attributes of the PYP learner
profile...independent and responsible. =0)

Read with me!
My students love to read! This
thrills me. I often find them before school starts with their noses in books and
sharing information they have discovered with each other. One way that we
try to encourage reading for pleasure is to read with our pre-k book buddies. What
I find most refreshing is that even those children who struggle the most with reading
are suddenly more confident and try their very best to read to their partner.
Here are a few pictures of the
kids reading with their buddies.
You can find this checklist
and download it for free at my teacher store
here.
Reading is the passport to
opportunity. It takes your child places they may never get to see or experience
otherwise. Part of developing
open-minded and tolerant students is the use of rich and wonderful literature. So keep reading with your kids!!
Until Next time!
