Although independent reading cannot substitute for teaching decoding, it improves reading comprehension and the habit of reading. Independent reading is children's reading of text â such as books, magazines, and newspapers â on their own, with minimal to no assistance from adults. It can consist of reading done in or out of school, including purely voluntary reading for enjoyment or assigned reading for homework.
