How To Get Upper Elementary Students To Love Reading Pt. 1

Listen in as:

I share part one of a two part series about how a love of reading is cultivated in a classroom. Part one of this series is all about how a love of reading is caught.

I talk about:

-Taking on the identity of a reader

-Making it impossible to opt out

-What books to start with

-How to take your reading habit public

Quotables:

- If you have a negative attitude about reading your students will pick up on it too.

-We start by taking on the identity of a reader. I know this sounds simple, but this is exactly what we do with our students. We start by trying to get them to see themselves in a different light so that they can start thinking of the possibilities and acting accordingly.

- I would also recommend you read books that fuel your fire for teaching and specifically teaching reading.
