Which NRP topic area(s) or missing pillar(s) that Allington describes do you find to be most vital for childrens literacy success? Why?
I believe children having the choice to read what they find interesting is one of the most vital components. I think that all of the other topics can be addressed more successfully "if" a child reads something that interest them and something that can make connections with. It has been proven that good readers read more than poor readers and I think this stems from an early age of being able to read texts that interest them. A child who is brought up at an early age reading only text that are boring to them and text that they can not make connections with, sets that child up for "hating" to read. Who wants to read something that is boring? No one that I am aware of and if we are making children read such material before they even build a love for reading, then we are setting them up for failure. I think the more children read and love what they are reading, the more proficient readers they will become and the more they will read on their own!
