For the love of books



I am so excited to set up my reading program next year.   As this year draws to a close, I find myself already making tweaks to my current program and plotting changes that I would like to make.  With a main goal of instilling a love for reading, I look forward to helping my students develop the skills they need to become life-long readers.   I have used the Guide to Effective Instruction in Reading - Section 8 (found here ) to help me establish current and future learning goals for my reading program.  

These goals are:

·       I am learning to make sense of what I am reading
·       I am learning to think about what I am reading
·       I am learning to ask myself questions about what I am reading
·       I am learning to make connections about what I am reading
·       I am learning to use my prior knowledge to help me when I am reading
·       I am learning to use textual clues to draw conclusions when I am reading
·       I am learning to use fix-up strategies to help me with my reading
