We all know that teachers who read are more effective at engaging their students with reading, but our school year demands often limit our reading time. Summer vacations give us an opportunity to recommit to reading, explore new books for our students, or dive into the books that pile up around our houses during the year.
Give us your beach reads, your professional development texts, your Game o...

| Told entirely through playlists, YouTube links, photos and other images, Chopsticks is unique. It seems like a love story on the surface, but clues in the last 1/3 indicate something darker and sadder might be happening. I noticed the F and G referen...more | |

Interesting how perspective can change a book. I read this over a year and 1/2 ago and thought it was ok. Upon reread I think Johnston is so wise and that this is one amazing book. I'm not sure what was going on during that first read but am I gla...

“Reading changes your life. Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time. Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education. Through characters – the saints and the sinners, real or imagined – reading shows you how to be a better human being.”
― Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child
― Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child
“Books are love letters (or apologies) passed between us, adding a layer of conversation beyond our spoken words.”
― Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child
― Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child
“I believe that this corporate machinery of scripted programs, comprehension worksheets (reproducibles, handouts, printables, whatever you want to call them), computer-based incentive packages, and test practice curriculum facilitates a solid bottom-line for the companies that sell them, and give schools proof they can point to that they are using every available resource to teach reading, but these efforts are doomed to fail a large number of students because they leave out the most important factor. When you take a forklift and shovel off the programs, underneath it all is a child reading a book.”

“Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.”

“In a very real sense, people who have read good literature
have lived more than people who cannot or will not read.
It is not true that we have only one life to lead; if we can read,
we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
”
― S.I. Hayakawa

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours”
