Homework
“Effective classroom
teachers are the only
absolutely essential
element of an effective
school.”
- Allington & Cunningham, 1997
Literacy development is
dependent upon effective
instruction, access to
quality reading material
and the time engaged in
reading.
Research
A study completed by Anderson
et.al. illustrates that an avid
reader in fifth grade reading 90
minutes per day scored in the
98th percentile on standardized
tests.
Classroom Libraries
Research tells us that classroom libraries are utilized more than school or public libraries.
Richard Allington suggests a primary classroom teacher needs to have a minimum of 1200 different titles in a classroom library and intermediate classrooms should have a minimum of 750 titles.
Students must have access to books (at their level and their choice) in order to practice the skills and strategies being taught.

process, discuss with your
table how you help your
students make a correct text
to reader match.
Text to Reader Match
Features to consider when selecting a
book:
○ Message and content (appeal to children)
○ Genre (text structure)
○ Language structure
(nature, complexity, tense, frequency, length
of phrases, sentence patterns, length of
book, etc.)
○ Word structures (familiar words, complex
words, decodability)
○ Presentation and Layout
(amount, placement, clarity of text)
