Importance of Learning to Read in the Primary Grades Reading is one of the main academic focus areas in the primary grades. Children must have a solid foundation in reading skills at an early age to read more complex books later and be proficient in their understanding of them. Reading is essential in any school subject, as textbooks and other written media are used to convey the majority of information being taught. "What many researchers have now shown is that for all children, learning to read and reading to learn should be happening simultaneously and continuously, from preschool through middle school — and perhaps beyond. And that's not all. Teaching comprehension has now emerged as a critical piece of learning to read, which the narrow emphasis on phonics and sight words in the early years of reading fails to address." Add reading across the content areas Learning to read and reading to learn Having students read by 3rd grade increases their college and career readiness levels http://teacher.scholastic.com/professional/readexpert/mythread.htm

First Grade Classroom In this first day of instruction, the teacher focuses his first graders on a complex text. The instruction centers on the vocabulary. https://youtu.be/WgQYvj2U4Kw Allow principals to make observation notes and have conversations about what they see in their schools vs. what is seen in the video. Where do we stop the video?

How do we create a culture of Readers and Writers? Set the example! Teaching grade-level standards in depth. Building a strong Phonics foundation that is always tied to text. Extend Reading to Writing during Whole Group and DI. Close Reading/Listening of each selection (including the Big Book in Kindergarten). Close reading can be done orally. Create a rich classroom library and allow students to read for pleasure and at their instructional level. Use the Media Center to foster the love of Reading. Allow for students to engage in collaborative conversations to strengthen their speaking and listening skills. Engage in school-wide Literacy Activities: Literacy nights, book swaps, buddy reading ,etc. Read and write across all content areas.
