My students are, in general, not reading difficult text that requires them to analyze and do deeper thinking. By getting nonfiction and fiction in front of them, we can incorporate more reading skills into one text and get a real feel for what good readers do/think about. Engaging, rigorous texts make for a better education and snippets of stories just don't cut it. My kids will do better when reading an entire story and using their reading strategies to analyze it and break it down. Having meaningful nonfiction in front of them that tackles current news events will help them to become better world citizens: those who are not only able to read higher text, but understand it on a more complex level. We may be learning to read at a 6th grade level still, but we should be reading to learn as well. We'll read the novel and do character study and learn about authors' purposeful choices and their impact. We will delve into the Scholastic publication and have discussions with each other about the topics at hand. As we use these resources, we will be collaborating with one another and then incorporating reading standards and extending beyond the text with our writing standards.
