When I looked at our survey results, I noticed that 57.9% of our class said they are currently reading a book for enjoyment, while 42.1% said they are not. This tells me that more than half of our class already see themselves as readers who read for pleasure, which is a positive start.
However, a large number of students are not reading for enjoyment at the moment. This makes me reflect on how I can better support those students to build their reader identity. I need to continue modelling my own love of reading and use Think-Alouds so students can see how a good reader thinks, questions, and makes connections.
These results show that we still have work to do in building a strong reading culture in our classroom. My goal is to help all students see reading not just as a school task, but as something they can enjoy and choose to do independently. By understanding where my students are at, I can plan more intentionally to accelerate the progress of my target learners and strengthen their confidence as readers.
