About this session
Teachers in the high school English classroom can instill a sense of lifelong readership in their students through the use of independent reading. Independent reading as a classroom practice, provides structured time for students to dive into high interests texts of their choice in a low-stakes, yet rewarding opportunity to develop their reading skills. As a practice, independent reading fosters teacher-to-student relationships, provides differentiation, and develops a community of readers within a learning environment.
