When we give kids choice in what they read, they are more motivated to read.
6
Increase Volume
Volume of reading that kids do on their own is an important predictor of school success.
7
Read Aloud
Students need to hear you read aloud a range of genres.
8
Teach Strategies
When students learn strategies to use while reading, they are more likely to become independent readers.
9
Model Thinking
Students will learn how you think through a text when you model your own thinking.
10
Encourage Classroom Talk
Classroom talk about texts improves understanding of those texts.
