The discussions will increase their reading comprehension, vocabulary, the ability to put their thoughts into words and most importantly their self-confidence. The will have the opportunity to share their thinking with the whole class and partners. Students who read novels find reading fun, and they learn more English as they read! Our classroom also needs a carpet for our small group learning area. Everyone needs a spot on the carpet! Having a carpet in the small group area will create a better learning environment by giving everyone a spot and eliminating students not knowing where to sit. Students need routine and structure and a carpet for whole group will help create that in the classroom.
