Central Library
The libraries of Henderson ISD share the common goal of encouraging children to become life-long readers by providing an interesting and exciting selection of reading material as well as access to online resources for enrichment and extension of knowledge.
All of the Henderson ISD elementary schools utilize a program called Scholastic Reading Counts! Our mission is to help develop confident, successful readers. Through the use of proven, research-based strategies, Scholastic Reading Counts! is an effective way to boost reading achievement for all students. Scholastic Reading Counts! helps make every child a reader.
The research shows:
- Reading achievement is positively related to the amount of time students spend reading.
- Students develop vocabulary and concept knowledge through extensive reading.
- The best way to strengthen reading skills and foster the reading habit is to see that students get reading practice with books that are carefully selected and matched to their reading level and interests.
- Motivation is essential for maintaining students’ sustained attention to reading.
- To build comprehension skills, students should read widely, respond to questions, and talk about what they’ve read.
- Helping struggling readers requires a supportive literacy environment as part of a carefully planned intervention program.
- Families and communities have an important role in helping students become successful readers.
- Assessment and evaluation are necessary to monitor student progress and adjust instruction.
