I believe silent sustained reading is very important and should be integrated in the classroom. SSR allows students the opportunity to find books that they enjoy and are connected too. SSR also has been proven to increase reading comprehension. Classrooms that incorporate SSR have students who enjoy writing about their books.
I have enjoyed the 20 mins each class period reading. I struggle sometimes to find the time to read and this has allowed me the opportunity to slow down for a moment and enjoy a book.
Good! Now, keep reading! Plug that 15 minutes into your daily life!
