Can you really do anything well if you have little
confidence while doing it? Confidence
plays such a huge role in the success of mastering various tasks in our lives
and mastering reading is no exception.
Some students go through their school years without experiencing the
feeling of success while reading.
Students learn to read at all different levels and speeds and it is
important to instill success in our students, even if the success seems
minimal. Learning to read and becoming
engaged as a reader is a daunting task and can rarely be done unless our
students have confidence in themselves.
Confidence allows students to overcome any difficulties in reading and
it also helps foster a love for reading.
How often do we as adults continue to do something we feel we are not
good at or have been told we aren’t as good as someone else? Not often.
Children are no different. They
need to be confident that they are moving in the right direction and to feel
successful as readers. This article from
Scholastic.com is a great resource on how we as the adults and educators can
help boost reading confidence.
