Ch.3: Share your Reading Life
“What kinds of messages am I sending with the work that I
am structuring?”….This is a question that every educator should be asking
themselves. Worksheet after worksheet does not promote reading growth let alone
a love for reading. It is our responsibility to foster a “reading friendly” environment,
and if we regret to exude positive experiences in our classrooms then we have
failed as teachers. It is essential to model and share our reading experiences
with our students because in most cases we are the only model visible in their
lives.
Chrissa - Many teachers are thinking more about the kind of work their students are doing and examining the value of that work. I can tell you have a passion for students to be able to enjoy reading. What are some ways you foster the joy of reading with your students?
