Wide Reading

Wide reading is reading a ton.  It is a contrast to narrow reading.  In the classroom, give students time to read.  Allow them to read different books like maybe articles from National Geographic or biographies about historical figures.  At school, teachers can promote reading by offering fun reading events.  In my first grade class, we got to bring our sleeping bags and go "camping" in the classroom. We were able to spread out and read whatever books we chose for a period of time.
