I had the opportunity to discuss with senator Joni Ernst about funding for Title IV Part A, and Title II. Advocating for the students and educators is what I aspire to do. #SpeakOutDay
A7: The first thing that I will do each day is start off with at least 10 minutes of independent reading time. I would also like to develop a diverse library in my classroom. This way every student feels comfortable and confident choosing a book. #ILAChat#UNILitED
A6: I would say that the students needs to have a positive role model while completing the independent reading process. Have weekly conferences with the student on what they are reading and if they enjoy it or not. Develop goals to help the student grow. #ILAChat#UNILitEd
A5: Not providing the right choices. Providing texts that may be too challenging or too easy for some students. Educators can overcome these challenges by asking the students what books they want to see in the library. Have the students order books. #ILAChat#UNILitEd
A4: Every student should have a voice no matter what. You should let each student pick out a book to order once a month so that you get a variety of choices. This will encourage a positive independent reading environment. #ILAChat#UNILitEd
A3: In some homes, students may not be encouraged or have the essentials to read at home. At school, educators try to make it as positive as possible so that independent reading is possible for every student. #ILAChat#UNILitEd
A2: More time for independent reading can boost comprehension and the understanding of texts. Literacy rates can shoot through the roof if you provide the right text and motivation. Positive inspiration + positive views on literacy = more reading. #ILAchat#UNILitEd
@ILAToday Independent reading is when a student gets 1-on-1 time reading a book of their choice that satisfies interests and age level. Time for independent reading in class, different choices of books, and the inspiration to read are components for an effective program.#ILAchat#UNILitEd
Hello everyone! My name is Emily McDermott. I am a pre-service teacher and I am studying Elementary Education and Physical Education. I am joining this chat for more information on independent reading. The last book I read was This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. #ILAchat#UNILitEd
I am so excited to participate in my second twitter chat with #ILAchat! Expanding my learning on independent reading and joining in on the discussion of other professionals can help improve my chance of success! #UNILitEd
Understanding strengths and values with not just the students, but with yourself as well! These are important components of being an educator. #iaedchat
