Giving students CHOICES in the classroom helps promote independence and gives them ownership of their own learning. The kid's couch, bean bag chair, and mats will provide multiple reading location options for my students during the Daily 5 when they are "reading to self" and/or "reading to someone." When I read, I enjoy a comfy, cozy spot to get lost in my book and I want to provide my students with the same comfort in their classroom to read their books. Research shows that providing a variety of diverse texts that students are interested in and can read independently with 95% accuracy helps improve reading achievement. With the Daily 5, we aim to teach students how to select "just right" books that they can read independently. A just right book is a book the student finds interesting and can confidently read and understand with a small amount of support. These books also make the student stretch a little bit so that they have opportunities to apply the strategies they have been learning and to experience new vocabulary and different genres (Routman, 2003). I have recently leveled my classroom library and I primarily have books that are at a second grade reading level. However, I only have a small group of students who read at or above a second grade reading level. My struggling readers need more choices for books that are on their level in order for them to learn and grow. The books I have selected are all reading levels A-F that will provide options for those students who are still mastering early reader skills.
