Our reading area is coming along. We are in desperate need of durable cushions. Independent reading time in our room happens after specials. Lights are dimmed, classical music is played and students learn the procedures for this special. You can read or well in the beginning of the year we look for the letters of the week, the sight words we are learning or connecting the syllables in Spanish. You can do it with a friend or on your own. The cushions offer students the option to read at the reading area or take a cushion somewhere close. I like these pillows because they come in soft colors, have washable covers and are made especially for the little ones. At this time I meet with one or two students and I ask them what they are reading or what connection are they making. This is the time when I praise them and let them know that they are showing signs of an early reader. I make an effort to connect with at least 5 of my students and even keep a short checklist, so I keep track of who I need to meet with next time (since we switch homerooms every other day). Presently, we have one bean bag and they all fight for it. My students love independent reading time!
