Oct. Share Your Reading Life
I really enjoyed this chapter as well. I love to read and I honestly never thought about sharing that with my students. After reading this chapter I was able to have a conversation with a student about a book that we both love, all because I listened to what he was saying and remembered what the chapter said. I plan to incorporate the reading log with my kidwatching students. They will keep one and so will I. That way I can see what they're reading outside of our time together. Also, they can see how many books they actually read every month! This will be encouraging to my struggling readers and it will encourage them to read more. Hopefully seeing the log that I make will encourage them as well! I am excited to discuss my love of reading with them and hopefully, inspire them to read some of my favorite books.

I'm going to try and make my reading log more visible to my students as well to encourage it! I tried having them do one at the beginning of the year, but I stopped emphasizing it, so they stopped doing it. The key is to remind them frequently so they can see their progress and feel proud of themselves!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire,
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the reading log you are going to use with your students. There are so many different possibilities out there and I appreciate how you want to use the log as a way to encourage students to read more. I know they will love hearing about your favorite books! Sincerely, Dawn
