Reading is a foundational part of learning. Not only does it provide the means to function in the world around us but opens up a world of discovery and builds on student's imaginations. First graders love to learn. Reading and loving to read is crucial for developing the ability to read, write, analyze, imagine, create, and understand all the facets of life! I don't know of any classroom that can develop these abilities with books. My students need to read and be able to read books that are on their level. This will build their confidence and love of learning.
