Creating a home reading program !

I have chosen creating a home reading program. I found this podcast very interested and helpful. I feel that every student should read not only in school but also at home. I feel that this matter is very important because most of the students in a classroom would comprehend any reading assignments without difficulty. For example, myself I am not a reader at all I have difficulties reading any article or books given to me, I feel that’s because growing up I never had a teacher that would motivate me to read in or out of school. Also because I have a mother that doesn’t speak English and never really understood what I was doing in school, so she really wasn’t able to help me and support me on reading any types of books or helping me with any assignment. I feel that an effective teacher needs to motivate the student to read books and communicate with the parents at home, given the parents reading assignments to give to the students when they are at home or even letting the student read a book, newspaper, or even magazines. That would help the student with vocabulary, comprehension, and also the skill that the student would gain from reading.
