Parents, teachers, and the children themselves mentioned that the children were reading
independently much more often. Parents reported an increase in the frequency and quantity of independent
reading displayed by their children and noticed that they were more confident and successful when
reading at home. In fact, the increased frequency of autonomous reading was one of the most consistently
mentioned changes in children’s reading behaviour and is illustrated in the following quotes:
Sometimes at home I go and read four chapter books. (Child)
She’s even started bringing books in for us to share in class and showing me what she’s reading at home.
(Teacher)
