If the only reading students do is at school, they will never get the necessary practice that is foundational to being literate. They need to read books, and they need to do a lot of this reading outside of school.
A3 Just a thought, when our body language dissuades a reader from their book choice. A question at that moment doesn’t always lead to a discussion. But is seen as a wrong decision by the reader #G2Great
The power of the read alouds is in the discussion it generates. The questions, the wonder, the confusion is all part of the understanding. The joy when they get it, nothing better when they come back for more and get their own books! #G2Great
