Having a classroom library full of books will help motivate my students by encouraging them to read by choice and for fun. With these books, I will read to my students, we will read the books together, and they will read independently. These books will give my students the opportunity to chose from a variety of books as well as learn how to pick a just-right book for them to read.
These books will also give my students the opportunity to take books home to read. Reading books at school and at home will help my students become better readers. A classroom library supports reading and writing instruction. I will use the books to teach my students reading strategies and skills. They will learn strategies such as reading long and strong, how to tackle hard words, and how partners can work together to build good reading habits. I hope to get my students to fall in love with reading and be excited to pick up a book.
