Teacherscribe's Teaching Thought #54
Thought #5 – Be patient and relentless
From the link - The most valuable realization I’ve had in this decades-long endeavor to help my students learn to love reading is to just keep trying. There are so many brilliant teachers out there with so many good ideas for making things better in our classrooms, and if we stay connected and keep suggesting new books, talking about books, and trying different techniques—both new and old—our students will respond.
My best reading unit (The Sticky-Note book report) comes from a former RRVWP colleague, Judy Sheridan. I stole it and haven’t looked back. I’ve presented on this approach at NCTE and talk about it with my peers every single chance I get.
What best practices do you use?
