Ideas to Inspire Reading

Reading is a big part of the elementary education program.My classroom will have labels on everything so that the students can see the text for things.I plan to have lots of posters and signs with pictures and words hanging in the room.I will have a vast number of books on varying subjects.I plan to have many books on tape as well so the children can listen to the words being read and see them.I plan to have many phonetic centers like alphabet bingo,stamping letters,and magnetic letters that are fun.I plan to read to the students everyday and encourage going to the library.I will ask questions about what we read and have open discussions.I really love reading want to help became life long readers.
