Students read more, understand more, and are more likely to continue reading when they have the opportunity to choose what they read (p. 1, Allington & Gabriel).
I think it’s important for students to have an opportunity to choose what they read, so they can find something they enjoy reading. Students can also pick books appropriate for their reading level instead of getting a book above their reading level causing them frustration. Students are often given assigned books to read that students don’t often enjoy or they are too hard for the students to read. This negativity in reading makes students dislike reading.

If that is not done then children grow up with a pre-conceive notion about reading which would make it harder for them to read a book on their own, like reading or even see the value of it. Unfortunately, I can say that I was a student who never liked reading, who never saw the value of it and rather watch a movie based on book than read it but I can proudly say that I no longer share those views of my younger self and I do see the value and benefits of reading and appreciate it much more. As a prospective teacher, I try to identify strategies and activities that would foster students
