One of my greatest teaching goals is to nurture curious, strong readers. This will require high classroom morale and unwavering reading enthusiasm. The most effective way to ensure that children are developing as readers is by providing them with high interest materials. Because every child in my classroom is so unique, the reading interests in my classroom vary greatly. I believe it is important for teachers to present students with a wide range of reading options. If students see their interests represented in texts, they are more likely to enthusiastically pick up a book and practice reading! A classroom library with varying texts will emphasize to students that their interests are represented in texts! Reading is more than a subject that students are tested on in school. Reading is an avenue into new, interesting worlds! Reading provides students with facts about favorite sports or inspiring figures in history. Most importantly, a classroom library will allow me to create a check-out system. This will enable students who do not have reading materials at home to borrow books, and practice reading on their own.
