Building a Love of Reading!

An action that we have taken to support our school’s learning focus is:Our Staff and Students have worked closely with our school Teacher Librarian throughout the year to develop literacy skills and a love of reading. 
This action supports our school’s learning focus in the following ways:Along with our Classroom / Resource and ELL Teacher's literacy instruction, Ms. Malin has supported our learners through collaboration time and weekly class visits to the library to develop a love of reading. Developing a love of reading is an important aspect that encourages and teaches our students the value of reading. We have noticed that developing a love of reading allowed students to feel more confident in their literacy skills. When we provided high interest texts and modelled a love of reading, we noticed more engagement from a greater amount of students in a more meaningful way. Ms. Malin organized activities such as "I read Canadian", "Hamilton's Annual Reader's Choice", Summer Lending and many more as examples of ways to help build a love of reading for our students.
