Launching Summer Reading
We need to get rid of the summer reading slump and find ways to get our students to read. Click on the link above and Donalyn Miller provides some wonderful ideas to get students to read over the summer by having students make book recommendations, creating a reading list, and holding a book swap. Our school is planning on holding a book swap or two this summer. I'm really excited about that!
I'm also planning to provide students with a summer reading list created by students (book recommendations) and showing students book trailers to get them hyped up about books. See the following link for book trailers provided by Scholastic Kids on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC1B08FBB22B50642. I will also use Edmodo to promote summer reading as much as I can. http://www.edmodo.com
