Getting Kids Excited about Reading! 

Often times it's a challenge to get students reading and staying engaged with books. Particularly in this era of time when books have to compete with so many technology resources. Yet, creating a love for books is wonderful way to help kids be life-long learners. I always tell my own children and students alike how reading can take you places that you cannot go and how good readers can practically teach themselves new things daily. All of these clichés sound good but rarely do they tempt kids to want to read more. Therefore, having school-wide reading events can spark students' desire to read and also build students' engagement while reading! I am especially excited about the upcoming World Read Aloud Day event! As a literacy coach, I often stress the importance of reading aloud to students so this event really illustrates not only the importance of reading aloud but just how exciting and fun reading can be. So we're on the count down at our school to World Read Aloud Day! Are you? 

Get Ready for World Read Aloud Day!
