Literacy is important in my classroom. About 90% of the students come from a low income household. Usually parents work more than one job to be able to provide the very basic of needs. As a result, my students are very rarely read to at home. Research show that one of the most important things you can do for your child's reading development is read to them. And while I read to my students a variety of books that appeal to their interest (in addition to the required curriculum), I know that having new interesting books they can read independently will spark that internal motivation and love for reading.
