Paperbacks & Collections Kids Who Read Succeedby Linda Cornwell Kids need to read a lot. Time spent reading is important. Kids should read extensively both in and out of school to polish their basic reading skills and develop fluency. During the school day, students need large chunks of time to read extended texts for a variety of purposes: for information, for pleasure, and for exploration. Kids need access to engaging classroom and school library media center collections. Kids need to be exposed to a variety of genres and authors, as well as to materials they find relevant and engaging. Kids need choice in selecting books appropriate to their independent reading levels. To practice their reading skills, kids need to spend the majority of their daily reading time with engaging books they can read with accuracy and success; thus, kids need to read materials of their own choosing every day. Kids need to be read aloud to every day. Kids need to hear fluent readers read. Kids need positive reading role models. Source:
