There has been more and more discussion lately about what kids “should and shouldn’t” be reading. 😥 Please go back and remember the REAL reason we TEACH kids to read (not to pass a test... but for the love of it... to provide an escape... to expose them to other cultures and people they may never meet... to relate to a character... to learn new things... to further themselves in life... shall I go on?). Reading is reading is reading. Telling a child what they “must” read or “can’t” read may be putting them back on a bridge to misery. Don’t be responsible for that. ❤️
Let’s not forget that the ultimate goal we have for our students should be that they learn to read for ENJOYMENT! When my students picked up a book in their spare time, or took a book with them to lunch, it made my teacher heart so happy! ❤️ 📚
Some ways to help them understand reading is a gift: ⏩ read aloud to them daily with NO ACTIVITY to complete during or after ⏩ RECOMMEND books to students based on their loves and interests (and allow students to do the same for each other) ⏩ allow students time to read INDEPENDENTLY without having to complete an activity ⏩ when reading books as a part of mini-lessons, choose books YOU love- the excitement and passion will carry over to your students 📖
