Small-group reading is important in developing students into good readers. By providing them with the opportunity to read with students on their own level, it creates a confidence in them and will more likely enjoy what they are reading. When they see others struggling, they usually do not feel embarrassed themselves when reading aloud. Reading books of this variety also gives the students access to reading about things that may happen in real-life.
Giving students the opportunity to gain new vocabulary is important in other aspects of school, as well. They may see new words and have no idea what they mean, but if they talk about the new vocabulary, they have a better understanding of how the word might be used elsewhere.
