  • believe there is room for both whole class reading AND choice reading. We think the problem isn’t that we all read the same book; it’s that we expect kids to read it the same way

    This is an article from Kylene Beers, a well known teacher and writer in the English/Language Arts world, about the effectiveness of a whole class novel

    This is a nice resource for teachers to come and look at. I think that we often forgot how beneficial it is to read a whole class novel, and still allowing students to read the way they know how to read. I really think I can take a closer look at this article for future classroom purposes.

    This is an interesting article that I think is so important. I don't read novels with my classes as a CTE teacher, but we do read a lot of articles and sometimes I give students a time limit for reading them. Every time, some students zoom through and others don't even finish. I have found a couple great websites in the past that have adjusted reading levels of specific articles and that has been incredibly helpful for me. I do think that whole class reflection is important when reading the same text, as it gives different points of view and opens student's eyes to things they may not have realized.

    I definitely enjoyed this article. I liked reading novels as a whole group, but it was difficult if only half the class did the reading and the other half just messed around. A good resource for teachers to take a look at and consider. I agree that the reflection from all students is necessary, but that could be done without having to read the novel as a whole. If students don't read the book, it's on their own shoulders...

    This was very interesting to read. I agreed with many of the point made by the author and I think that this article can help me as I continue to work to engage students in reading. I read aloud a novel to my 6th classes for the to just enjoy listening to. We are also currently doing a whole class novel study of Holes. I agree with the author of the article that there is room for both whole class reading of a novel and choice time. I have my student independently read a book of their choice, and we have a set aside time a few times a week where everyone in the class reads. Currently my 7th grade Literature students are reading a novel of their choice and I am just requiring that they write reading response letters to me and it has been going very well. They are engaged in reading and able to read at their own pace. I gave them a deadline for when they need to have their books finished, but it is on them to decided how much to read each week. Choice and voice are very important. This is a great resource that I can share with teachers in my collaborative teacher team.
