Most of us understand how teacher modeling helps readers. A small step you can take in modeling how reading is a life-long process is by discussing books you have read for pleasure with your students. You will be surprised how casual book talk can influence what students are willing to pick up for independent reading.
The ladies in the curriculum and instruction PDC offices (Dr. Julie Pack, Dubraska Stines, Betsy Hammond, and Lori Eggleston) and I have started posting our current reads. If you would like a sign to post outside your classroom or office door, click here. Just click on "File" and "Make a Copy" to add it to add to your Google Drive; after that, you should be able to edit the document to customize to your liking. If you put it in a plastic sheet protector, you can write on top with a dry erase marker and reuse over and over.
Happy Reading!
