Student-Directed Learning
Self-Selected Readin
g
Based on the work of Dr. Stephen Krashen in the 1980s and 90s, we know that guided self-selected reading is one of the fastest ways for students to improve language acquisition.
Teachers need to guide students to choose appropriate, challenging literature that also fits curriculum and content standards.

Letting students choose their own reading materials increases engagement and retention.
Self-selecting culturally relevant materials has a multitude of benefits
Students who self-select their own reading can more successfully perform self-assessment of the knowledge they have gained.
Quinn (2007) shows the benefits that self-selected, silent, and self-monitored reading may have for students who are reticent to participate in more traditional reading activity and assessment.
