“Teachers must focus on early reading instruction on the foundations for children to succeed, such as phonemic awareness and letter name recognition.” (Cooter & Reutzel, 97)
Reading promotes an widening in vocabulary and improves students comprehension of different lesson plans.
It is important to have good literature that is diverse in a sense of culture, economic, and social backgrounds to spark the students interest. This will promote a better understanding of today's world and in a diverse classroom.
