create a station for kids to listen to a book together.

Invite parents to come into the classroom and read to small groups of students.

Invite older kids in the school to come to your classroom and read books to your students.

Have Books EverywhereNot everyone has the benefits of having books

everywhere. According to research by Richard Allington 2006Classrooms with a larger supply of books had kids

who read more frequently. Classrooms with a larger supply of books usually

had more kids reading books they could read successfully.

Page 7: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Have books everywhereCreate a classroom library with about 100 books

per child. For example, if you have 20 students, then you will want to have 2,000 books.

Stock your classroom with the newest books in a series that your students love.

Do book talks to get your students excited about reading new books.

Page 8: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Have books everywhereCreate a silent sustained reading time, where kids

can read books of their choice each day. Spend a few minutes each day talking with kids

individually to find out what is happening in their books and to take the time to listen to them read.

Sign up for Scholastic Book Club.

Page 9: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Have books everywhereRead a book aloud to your class.Talk with the reading specialist or principal to see

if you can book an author to motivate kids to read and write.

Research authors that your students enjoy reading and find out what other books they have written.

Teach students how to find a book trailer.

Read OftenIf They Don’t Read Much, How They Ever Gonna Get Good? – Richard Allington

According to research by Cunningham and Stanovich a student in the 98th percentile reads 65 minutes a day. This adds up to 4,358,000 words a year.

Students at the 20th percentile read .7 minutes a day. This adds up to 21,000 words per year.

Page 11: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Read OftenHave your students rate books after they have

read them using a 5 star system.Post the titles of books that have the highest stars

for kids in your class to read so that others will be motivated to read them.

Incorporate author studies in your classrooms.Cut-out “stuff” – worksheets, busy work

Page 12: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Richard Allington on reading often - 2006“Perhaps workbooks and all skill-and-drill reproducibles should be required to carry a warning: Caution. Sustained use of this product may cause reading/learning difficulties. Conversely books might carry a label that said: Research has demonstrated that regular reading of this product can reduce the risks of acquiring a reading/learning disability.”

Read because they love to, not because they are told to.I cannot live without good books. - Thomas Jefferson

Page 14: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Read because they love to, not because they are told to.Create a comfy place in the classroom for kids to

choose to read. You can bring in a couch and place it in the corner of the room or get some different fancy pillows that kids can arrange in different ways.

Put supplies like a dictionary, thesaurus, writing supplies, and blanket in the comfy area to read their book.

Monitor their readingThey read bold headings.They read captions.They look at the pictures instead of skipping them.They self monitor their reading. If something doesn’t sound right, then they go

back and read it again.They are able to learn the meanings of new words

from the context.

Page 16: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers

Monitor their readingWhile your students are reading during SSR time,

walk around with a clipboard and ask kids if there were any parts of the book that they are reading that they got stuck on. Then ask them how they solved that problem.

Get the book How to Raise Non-fiction Reading Levels to help kids monitor their comprehension with non-fiction text.

Teach the importance of reading captions and bold headings as a mini lesson.

them.Use rubrics to rate people when they read, so that they

can get specific feedback on how their reading sounds.Go to www.gigglepoetry.com to practice short poems with

kids. Kids will enjoy reading these poems over and over again.

Talk about the importance of stopping properly for punctuation when you and your students are reading.

Use the symbols //, /, ↑, and * and the colors to teach kids how to read the punctuation.
