Module 4: Activity 2

Which NRP topic area(s) or �missing pillar(s)� that Allington describes do you find to be most vital for children�s literacy success? Why?

 
      I thought that they were all key points that every teacher in the classroom needs have in order to make the children be successful. It was hard for me to pick the one that was most vital to me. If I had to pick one, I feel that it would be “assess to interesting text and choice.” It is important for a child to love what they read. If a child loves what they read they will want to read more. It will allow them to build confidence in reading. If they are able to choose the book they want to read then they will be more intrigued and able to make connections throughout the story. Not only will they be reading, but they will enjoy what they are reading. It will motivate them to want to read more. If a child being motivated to read plays a critical role in reading development. Students who are motivated to read will want to spend more time reading, read for a variety of purposes, and create situations that extend opportunities for literacy.
