My students need access to books on their level. The leveled library will give students the ability to read books independently on their individual level. I plan to utilize these books through reader's workshop and small group instruction. This will help support and foster our reading curriculum. Students can easily be frustrated with reading when they don’t have a variety of texts to read on their level. Having books that are too easy or too hard can deter a child from wanting to read. As developing readers, these students need to have access to fluent reading multiple times a day. This can be achieved through the use of a listening center, comprised of the requested tape player and headphones, where students can collaborate on a common text. Allowing access to these books and the listening center will enable each of my students to build their confidence and develop a love of reading.It will also engage my students in group discussions in a fun way that is on their reading level. The children will be able to improve their reading skills when they have access to text on their specific reading levels.
