Happy Monday! It has been a wonderful day today. I am so proud of my students. They are such hard workers and really put forth 100% effort.
After lunch, I usually read a literature selection to the students, and it is so refreshing to have all hands go up,so they can read the book after I am done reading it aloud.
Literature Bags started to go home a few weeks ago. Each bag has a collection of books that will hopefully expose children to many genres and continue to wet their reading appetites.
All in all, it comes down to how much a child is being supported and reading at home. Frequent library visits and reading support at home make all the difference in the world. It also helps tremendously if your home is filled with print-rich material.
Creating a home that discusses and exposes children to a rich vocabulary is also pertinent. Visits to the museum, zoo, and cultural events, along with exposure to historical landmarks, prepare students with the much needed background knowledge to support their reading experiences.
This is an ongoing process that is a continuum throughout their educational career.
