How can a second-grade teacher best use the results of reading interest surveys with students?

Determine levels of parent involvement in literacy development
Assist students in selecting books for independent reading
Select instructional-level texts for small-group lessons
Identify activities for at-home reading practice

The correct answer is: Assist students in selecting books for independent reading

Using the results of reading interest surveys allows a second-grade teacher to gain insights into what topics and genres resonate with individual students. By understanding these preferences, the teacher can guide students in selecting books that align with their interests for independent reading. This tailored approach not only encourages engagement but also promotes a love for reading, as students are more likely to enjoy and stick with texts that reflect their tastes. When students are involved in choosing their reading materials, they develop a sense of ownership and autonomy in their learning. This can lead to increased motivation and, ultimately, improvements in their reading skills. While the other options involve important aspects of literacy development, they do not directly leverage individual student interests in the same impactful manner that assisting with book selection does.
