Having material in the room that a student is able to read and understand gives them a sense of pride and encourages them to try to improve in their accuracy and fluency. A child with a sense of pride is not going to shrink back from obstacles or hardships but will work hard to overcome anything they may encounter in their lives.
Building basic reading/writing skills now can only help them in the future. The better a child can read the more confident they become. They feel they can accomplish anything. Being able to read and understand something on their own will enable them to fill out forms, follow directions, and be employed in a job with possible advancements.
The look of joy that comes across their face when they meet a goal is priceless. That look is what makes my job so worthwhile. My students need extra books to increase their reading and comprehension skills.
