Week Two

In my findings this week I actually ventured off more towards how developing fluent readers at such a young age will enhance their fluency skills all around. I, myself, am not a strong reader but I do know how important reading is. As they say, at such a young age it's all about learning how to decode and understand what you are reading. And in my readings it stated that if a young one is to have a negative experience with reading to begin with, the readings from then on out will stay negative. Starting them young and slow gives them the chance to learn the process and gain the knowledge on their own, leaving them feeling powerful and independent. 

Reading is the stepping stone for the language development along with many other aspects when it comes to these little minds. Building their vocabulary and their sentence structures while reading and looking through books makes me a more confident student and all around learner when it comes to in the classroom now and in the future classes that they have. Also, helping children enjoy reading give them the option to be independent and get lost in these amazing book that we out there so their fluency skills are sharpened and it keeps them wanting to go to school, which keeps them out of trouble.
