2012 - A Year To Improve Our Reading


I hope you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed some fun time off school. And, I hope you did some reading while you were home. This week let's hear about how you are going to improve your reading in 2012. Perhaps you will choose to read more pages every night for homework. Maybe you will try to learn at least one new word each week - and use it when you write. You might also select a longer book or a more challenging book when you make your selections from the library. Maybe you will read out loud to someone so that you can improve your fluency.

Since reading is one of the most important things we can learn to do well, let's see what kinds of ideas you have for how you can improve. Here is my example:

I am going to improve my reading by always looking up the words I don't know when I read. Sometimes I just skip over those words but that isn't a good idea. Looking them up will improve my vocabulary and the next time I see the word, I won't have to skip it; I'll just know it!

  21. I am going to improve my reading in this way. I am going to choose to read longer each night. Instead of reading for 15 minutes each night I am going to read for at least 20 minutes each night. This will help me improve as a reader because the only way to get better as a reader is to practice reading. That is how I am going to improve my reading.

  43. I am going to improve my reading by reading every night. I will make a promise to myself that I will read every night. As a teacher and a mom I am very busy at night, however I know how important reading is and I want to make sure that I spend some time each night reading. I also want to make sure that I have a book ready for when I finish one book. Once I finish a book, I want to be able to jump right into another one.
