Chapter 14: Reading by Children: Independent Reading and Writing and Literature Circles
Independent reading is a crucial and very big step for many students, especially ones who don't enjoy reading. Growing up, I was not big on the independent reading and I honestly believe that is why I do not enjoy reading now. It is important for students new to independent reading to have books that are not too challenging, but not ones they have read over and over. This was you can keep your students interest.
Independent writing is a new process for students in elementary school, too. As a teacher, I think it is important to relate both reading and writing together. This is a great way to evaluate your students for comprehension.There are many different ways to inquire activities that involve reading and writing.
Literature circles are very beneficial to student because this allows students to be able to discuss their and make connections to the story. Having these discussions can build listening skills and build connections that can help benefit students with better communication skills.
