When I walk into a room to work on skills with a student - they now beg to read a book to me. I started out this year showing them that they CAN read by using a book at their level. I have a few books on their level, but our classrooms do not. We want to be able to give each student a rich collection of books to choose from that are just right for their reading ability. If a student has a book that is too hard for them, they will give up and consider themselves a non reader. But if we have books available to them - like we do other readers - they will begin to grow and love to read!
