I have chosen a topic that probably most of you
know about it and also it could be very repetitive, but I will try to focus in
a different way than my partners.
A classroom library is, as the name shows, a space inside the classroom where children can be evolve in reading. As I said before, all the teachers should think about it, and try to develop it in the best way they know because there are many ways of creating a classroom library adapted to your children. You can focus the idea in their interests, or even in their needs.
I have had to create one classroom library two weeks ago with a group of four people showing how it will be work if we use it with a real context. At first, we tried to find something original to make, but we could see that it was better something effectively because children will be evolve if you work hardly in evolve them, it is not very important if everything is beautiful and handmade. Also it is very important the tasks you want to develop related with the library, not only the disposition of the library. You should think you are the main important factor for the children in that moment, you should show them motivation, participation, integration and all the factors to facilitate them to read.
Reading is one of the most important things that a teacher should take into account when children are starting to learn the grammar, the sentences and the vocabulary. They need to appreciate the importance of a book in their lives with the experience of reading it; it is not something that they will learn because someone tells them. In my opinion, the way that a teacher chooses to create a classroom library is very important for the children’s future. When I was a child I didn’t read at all because my teacher didn’t use to tell me and repeat it to me that it was important. If we were 27 in my class, we probably had 30 books per classroom, and we only had to read the books, without any motivation or activities to do after reading. I think it is a mistake that my teacher committed with us, so I will try to avoid it.
I have had the opportunity to see a project like this, which is being developed in a school where I have done my Practicum I and II. They have given to their library three books per child, so they have almost 80 books per classroom, obviously there are books of all the topics (love, adventure, magic, Disney…). Children receive a sticker when they finish a book, and it will be an adventurous reading per month, the person who has more stickers that month. They also have to complete two tasks in order to motivate their partner about the book they have read.
