My class is in need of a classroom library. One of my main goals as a first grade teacher is to build fluent and confident readers. Fluency is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently. To accomplish this goal my students need access to books. To build fluent readers and get students reading on grade level, we must present our students with opportunity to read at all times. These books will be used to teach several foundational skills such as reading comprehension, vocabulary, and print concepts.
