What It Is: A mini-library in each classroom—this is the heart of the classroom, where children can access and self-select books at any time. Books are used to support learning or simply to build a love of reading. Why It Matters: • Easy, immediate access to books without leaving the classroom • Often tailored to student interests or the subjects being taught in that class • Promotes intentional and independent reading, helping to build a culture of literacy in the classroom • Books are chosen to help students build specific skills like fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and stamina • Serves as a literacy center where students can read to themselves or with a partner
What It Is: A personal collection of books kept in a home. It can be a small shelf in a bedroom or an entire room filled with books.
Why It Matters: • Reading at home is key to building habits and fluency • Allows for easy access to books and supports reading autonomy • Encourages choice reading—picking what you want to read, not just what you have to • Helps families be part of the literacy journey (great for bonding too)
