contents A Library Media Specialist's Response to Reading First Plewa, Susan Childrens Literature Reading Strategies School Libraries Media Specialists Educational Environment Library Services Librarians Reading Instruction Case Studies Visual Aids Professional Development Librarian Teacher Cooperation Library Materials Reading Skills Phonics Vocabulary Development Reading Comprehension In this article, the author presents anecdotal scenarios which reflect some important moments in the teaching and learning of reading. In the first scenario, a student recognized fluent reading and named it, illustrating the power of a common vocabulary. The second scenario addressed the importance of common visual supports in the school environment--the word wall. In the third scenario, library media specialists are affirmed in the longheld practice of sharing quality children's literature no matter what type of reading curriculum is adopted in a school. Furthermore, as the author participates in Reading First professional development opportunities, she wonders about the impact of this particular initiative on the practices of library media specialists. How can they support classroom teachers? How can they reinforce reading strategies in the library media center? How can they help parents use library resources to further literacy in the home? How can they have a greater impact on student learning? The National Reading Panel Report (2000) identifies five essential components of reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. This article presents examples of activities, strategies, and resources that library media specialists can use to support these components. (Contains 8 resources.)
