Learning a new language might not be that easy for people but there are more benefits indeed. The first reason of learning different languages is that you learn more about different cultures and people.

The more students read, the better they'll read   So, why limit their reading to a pre-set reading level with limited titles available?  Students need opportunities to read easy books to build fluency  - This is ratified in Appendix A, Page 9,  of the CCSS standards.  We shouldn't have to define what level they should read at -- whether easy or hard -- for independent reading.  Students need experience reading complex text to improve their ability to decode meaning when they encounter difficult material - This is based on the research of Marilyn Jager Rand, PhD. Brown University Students will  shift from easy -->  hard  material if it's on a subject of their interest.  - So let them choose what they want and their innate curiosity will compel them to read and achieve understanding, thus raising their reading ability.  Students need curiosity to inspire reading.  They will either have natural curiosity or stirred up curiosity (stirred up by the educator)  Students need a reason to read that is not about 'assignment' - a quest for knowledge or an answer to find.

It has been firmly established that more reading leads to better reading (and writing, spelling, vocabulary and grammar), and that more access to books results in more reading (Krashen, 2004). It is thus reasonable to hypothesize that more access to books is related to better reading. This prediction has been confirmed by a number of studies showing a positive relationship between library quality and reading achievement (McQuillan, 1998; Lance, 2004, and studies reviewed in Krashen, 2004).

You should evaluate every web site you use for research or for personal information. The CARS checklist encourages students to find evidence of credibility, accuracy, reasonableness, and support.

These folders have been created as a way for educators to share book trailers for children's and YA books. It is an extension of the group "Book Trailers for All" on Teacher Tube. The reason they are available in both locations is that this site is blocked by many school filters, while Teacher Tube remains the most accessible file sharing site.
