If you aren't teaching your students the behaviors of an independent reader and giving them 20 to 30 minutes each day to read books of their choosing . . .

They probably are not getting enough reading time into their day (can we say with certainty they are getting it at home?)
They are not developing that lifetime love of books that we hope they do
They are not building engagement for reading
When they are reading, they let distractions get in the way or they are reading a book that doesn't fit them
You will have no time to meet with students individually or in small groups (or if you do, what are students doing? Is it authentic?)

You want your students to develop a lifelong love of reading! Independent and Collaborative Learning will help you get them there. You will learn how to teach them to be independent, build stamina, ignore distractions, and make good fit book choices.
