The only way to become better readers and writers is to read and write all or the time. Reading makes better readers and writing makes better writers. My students will learn about phonics in context. Rather than giving them a worksheet to complete and reading books that were written solely for learning phonics, we as a class will use real literature. I will have excellent classroom management.
Students tend to learn a lot more when the classroom is under control.
There are not a lot of distractions and all of us can stay focused on the task at hand. My classroom will be a place students want to be. Everyone will work together because of a sense of classroom community or belonging. All students should have positive reading experiences.
