Recently, there have been studies out that discuss how reading, particularly reading for pleasure is at an all-time low. This is for kids and adults, but the findings have been seen as concerning. The UK is calling on 2026 to be the year of reading - so that kids are reading for pleasure.
In this episode, Elizabeth shares ways that teachers can make this school year a year of reading as well - and the great news -- it doesn't require extra work! These can fit right into the school day.
Some ways to accomplish this goal include:
- Sharing your reading and love of books with your students
- Matching books to students' interests
- Reading aloud to students regardless of age/grade level/content area
- Reframing the Read for 20 Minutes Each Night assignment for parents
-Have fun reading!
