My students LOVE to read and write. I actually have students that want to stay in for recess to read and/or write! As with any class, my kids are reading on a variety of levels. I have students reading 2-3 years above grade level, and those reading 2 years below. All of them enjoy reading. This is largely due to the fact that our school district uses the Balanced Literacy approach to teaching literacy. Our students participate in daily reading and writing workshop, where the majority of time is spent applying the skills/strategies being taught during independent reading and writing. Teachers also meet with small guided reading groups in order to differentiate instruction. Our students learn, as early as kindergarten, to appreciate the love of reading. By the time they reach fourth grade, it becomes hard to keep up with them!
