There is a superior approach to reading instruction. All students, but particularly students from low-income households, need immediate access to well-written, high-interest books from diverse perspectives and authors. Students need a high-volume of daily prosodic modeling and reading practice, and they need agency in determining the course of their study. I call this systematic approach to meeting these needs in the classroom narrative immersion.
Narrative immersion creates the right atmosphere for students to have autotelic reading experiences every day, and counters the dark pull of social media with face-to-face social literacy. When we align reading instruction with students’ emotional and learning needs we not only have more engaged, motivated, and happier students; but additionally, we achieve highly significant growth in vocabulary and comprehension.
The combination of joy, intrinsic motivation, curiosity, and freedom needs to be a daily experience for all of our children, and when we strive for it with intense, deliberate practice, we can achieve stunning results. Narrative immersion is a classroom structure that any teacher or school is capable of implementing, and the classroom structure every child deserves.
