Everyday we have "Read to Self" after lunchtime. Children reading to themselves is the foundation for creating independent readers and writers. On the surface, "Read to Self" seems basic and simple. However, there are specific teaching techniques that make "Read to Self" a powerful tool for enhancing all literacy skills. Each child has books that have been self-selected from a bin at their reading level. In this way, children spend most of their independent reading time engaged in books which they can decode and comprehend at their present reading level. Our goals/expectations are to: get started right away, stay in one spot, read quietly, build stamina, and read the whole time.
