Reading is a daily occurrence in my classroom. I have worked hard to develop a classroom library to make books more available to my students, but I have to keep the selections updated.
Research shows that reading increases vocabulary and literacy skills. One study (Anderson & Nagy, 1992) estimates that children learn an average of four thousand to twelve thousand, new, vocabulary words each year as a result of book reading. Also, the availability of books is a major motivating factor in getting teens to read. Students who are surrounded by books at school and at home read more.
Choice in reading material increases the amount of time spent reading, which in turn increases literacy skills. I have found that having a classroom library has dramatically increased the amount of reading my students do.
