Reflection 

At the inaugural Reading Leaders event, hosted by Scholastic I had to pleasure to listen to Donalyn Miller speak about the importance of fostering a positive reading environment. Allowing children to read widely, have a choice in what they read and showing them that any book is a good choice! As I work within a school library environment events like these are great to listen to people who are passionate about instilling a love of reading within children from an early age. Working with children who are 5/6  all the way through to 12 years old, understanding their reading needs and guiding them towards books they want to read while allowing room of choice and exploration is important. 

A skill that I gained from the session was the more children practice reading the better they will become at it and the more skills they will develop. Donalyn highlighted 4 main components that lead to reading achievement

  • Time
  • Access
  • Choice
  • Community.

When children have the time, the access to books, their own choices of what to read a community that fosters reading they will thrive. 

From listening to Donalyn speak I learnt that it is so vital not only within a school environment but any library that providing a space for children to come in and explore a range of books is vital in their development. Connecting with them and exposing them to different ranges of literature is more important in a child’s development than people realise. I hope that whatever library environment I work within I can make those connections and foster a love of reading.

    Training children’s reading skills plays an extremely important role in nurturing their creativity. Create a habit of loving reading: Parents should create a friendly reading environment, encouraging children to freely explore the world of books.

    Thanks for your submission. Another factor is that just being a photographer requires not only issues in capturing award-winning photographs but in addition hardships in getting the best photographic camera suited to your needs and most especially challenges in maintaining the standard of your camera. This is very correct and obvious for those photography lovers that are into capturing the particular nature’s eye-catching scenes : the mountains, the particular forests, the particular wild or maybe the seas. Going to these daring places undoubtedly requires a photographic camera that can surpass the wild’s nasty areas. acim teachers
