Readers' Rights
This webpage is dedicated to outlining the rights of students in the classroom, in regards to reading. It is important that students are well informed of their rights when reading a text, so that they are fully aware of the freedoms they possess, while reading, within my classroom. It is also important that I, as a teacher, consistently protect these student rights from students, other teachers, and myself.
Readers have:
1. The right to request an approved text substitute, if the chosen text strongly conflicts with their religious, political, or personal beliefs.
2. The right to read ahead or finish a book before the class.
3. The right to read books in the manner of their choosing (silently, aloud, audio, etc).
4. The right to convey their emotions about a text.
5. The right to defend or not defend their opinions of a text.
6. The right to read more than one book at a time.
