An+Introduction+for+Best+Practices-+Reading+Materials



A great way to determine which reading materials would work best is to know what the standards are that you are responsible for instructing, the interests of the students, the material you have available to use, and what the expected outcome is you want for your students at the end of the year. Teachers have a wide variety of materials at their disposal, some schools have a basal, leveled texts in the classroom library, web programs, and newspapers and magazines. For the intermediate level a mixture of all of these would be appropriate to allow students the experience of exploration through a wide variety of text. We believe that by using a variety that you can then allow the student to fully experience rich, authentic learning and use this same varied materials for research.
