Read and Read it again

Read and Read it again - developing the confidence and love of learning to read.


Dont feel pressured to constantly read new books to your students or give your students a new reading book everyday.


Remember your favourite books as a kids.

Research tells us:

Vocabulary

Hearing a story once is a great experience both educationally and otherwise.  However, when it is revisited over and over again more learning is encouraged.  Vocabulary words that are difficult for young readers are often easily dismissed in books that are read just once or infrequently.  In contrast, when a book is read over and over again understanding of the vocabulary words is increased and the repetition helps children learn them to where they can begin using the vocabulary on their own in their own context.  

Increases Reading Comprehension

Just as vocabulary is picked-up in repeat reads, repeat reads help with increased reading comprehension.  With each time the book is read the child is able not only to remember it better, but gains a more clear perspective of such things as cause and effect, sequencing, plot structure and more.  

Confidence With Books

There is a confidence that comes with getting to know books on a more personal level.   pre-readers will revel in the ability to “read” the story on their own.  We know they might not be able to actually decode the words on their own, but being able to tell the story on their own will give them a sense of independence, confidence and even ownership of the story.

Fosters a Love of Books

It is the same with all readers young and old alike, when you fall in love with a story it becomes a part of you.  The characters become familiar friends who your make connections with an remember.
