Students need many opportunities to read independently in order to increase their reading fluency. My students will read these books at our reading station where they read independently with text that is on their just right reading level (books they can read on their own). They will also take these books home in their book bags to read to their parents. After they read them they will record the titles on their reading log and either me or a parent will initial it. Then they get another book to read independently and do it again! When the log is full they will hang their completed logs on our classroom wall and get a prize! It takes many books to provide them with these opportunities throughout the school year but is is critical to helping them become independent, empowered readers.
