I really enjoy teaching reading to students. It's wonderful to see students learn something new by reading, anticipating what might happen next, finishing a great story, and enthusiastically sharing what happened. I think it's so important to instill a love of reading in children early. Showing them that reading is exciting and fun will make them want to learn. Children need to know that reading is not simply something they have to do, but something they can learn, that they will enjoy, and that will benefit them forever. Identify and explain your goals for teaching reading and language arts to your future students. My goal for my future classroom is to instill in my students a love and learning for every subject. I think reading is the foundation students need to succeed in all subjects, so teaching reading deserves special attention and time in the classroom. The more general goal would be to model a positive attitude and atmosphere towards reading. I would spend time teaching students how everything we do involves reading in some way. From reading instructions on tests, to solving math problems, to driving, to cooking, to using the computer, I would show students the importance that words and reading have in our world. I will incorporate effective reading strategies and provide students with all the tools they need to be great readers. I would work to show students that reading begins with learning letters and sounds but is engaging
