Struggling readers tend to show their insecurities through the classroom and behavioral issues inside that classroom and take out their insecurity through aggravated or sad behavior in the classroom (Hurry, Flouri, & Sylva, 2018). Research has shown that these kids with struggling behavior in elementary school were put through a three year study throughout middle school and the study had shown that their attention in class had grown and as a result, their grades improved as well (Hurry, Flouri, & Sylva, 2018). Kids in my book club have told me how it’s a good distraction to read, and it helps them feel more comfortable in their learning environment to focus and feel safe to voice their opinion since they feel more educated. They’ve told me their grades improved as a result as well and that they look forward to it everyday. This really helped me understand what I’m doing and see it in action rather than talking about it. This was my aha moment, and it helped me realize how important what I’m doing is. Some of the kids are even reading ahead and staying afterwards to talk to me about it which is amazing to me. My research isn’t no longer just research, it’s actually tangible enough to see in person instead of just read. I’m glad I chose this since it really does help these kids mentally, and academically.
