I also believe silent independent reading is key...however, with a caveat. 1. To be sure students are actually reading during that time, we need to conference with them daily just for a minute or two to check for comprehension.
2. A "Jot Journal" to write a sentence about what they read today. 3. Make sure students are reading at their indendent level.
