Drop Everything and Read is a not-so-new movement in schools that promotes reading and reading for fun. Do you DEAR in your classroom?
Here’s how it works. During the AR Mastering period, the teacher will say “Drop Everything and Read” and the students do just that. They drop whatever they are working on, pick up their favorite book, curl up in the book corner and just read for a given amount of time. Teachers, parents, classroom aides, even the principal does it too – whoever is in the classroom when DEAR is called needs to Drop Everything and Read
What are the advantages of doing DEAR in your classroom each day? Allowing children time to “just read” has many benefits and has been studied in many classrooms around the country.
• DEAR gives children the opportunity to read books of their own choice. So much of what we do in school involved books and reading material selected by the teacher. DEAR time lets children pick whatever reading material they want to just enjoy as long as it is an AR book.
• DEAR allows children to see that reading for fun and pleasure is a valuable experience. If the teacher sets aside time for it, and if everyone in the classroom does it – it must be a valuable way to spend some time.
• DEAR can help develop better writing skills. The more children read, the more they are exposed to the written word – and that will lead to better reading and writing skills.
We are excited and looking forward to implementing DEAR in our classrooms here at Harmony School of Science
