Independent Reading

While working throughout the semester I have found that the children really do enjoy reading. It has taken a while and a lot of work from my CT and myself, but finding just right books has made a difference. The teacher and I question each student about what he or she likes and we encouraged them to find books, or we found some, for the children to read. I have noticed that as the semester progressed the children read without being told. They enjoy it. It is important to talk to the students and find out their interests in order to help the student become an avid reader. Here is a picture I took of one of the students enjoying reading, and he didn't even know I was there because he was so engrossed.
