Reading is the cornerstone of everything, including math and science. Among other things, comprehension in an school setting requires familiarity with academic language, background knowledge, and an extensive vocabulary. These skills are taught at different stages of child's education, however too often kids stop being taught to read after grade school, and instead are required to read in order to learn. If kids are not encouraged and exposed to literature at all stages of education, how will they ever become the life long learners that our society requires them to be. Having access to various types of literature in the classroom exposes kids to different types of writing and language, including vocabulary. It also allows students to experience events and meet people they might not normally get an opportunity to. Literature transcends time, space, language and culture as well as any other barriers that are imposed upon us and our students. Because our students attend a smaller school environment in which they might not experience everything fully, I'd like to expose them to as much as possible and reinforce their fluency in the process. This can be done (to some extent) through literature.
