However, now I've moved to the middle grades and I find that students are less and less motivated to read outside of school. Given schedules and curriculum constraints, we have almost no time to allow for independent CHOICE reading. Not to mention - it is not very "accepted" or "supported" by the building. With such little time, independent CHOICE reading is left to those kids that finish an assignment early in class or are already motivated to want to read on their own. I wish we could go back to D.E.A.R time and allow for it in the middle school classroom... :(<br /><br />Maria // EducationChic<br /><br />www.EducationChic.com mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860956001987686167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437383588074504926.post-60381375483287994422016-10-10T00:39:34.680-07:002016-10-10T00:39:34.680-07:00I agree with what you said and love how you were s...I agree with what you said and love how you were sharing from experience and not just from research. I think you are absolutely right. AR is just the worst!! I let my kids read what they want (though I did draw the line at fifty shades of grey... haha).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437383588074504926.post-457183203209536862016-10-09T16:53:41.032-07:002016-10-09T16:53:41.032-07:00Thank you so much sweet friend!
