8.  Effective reading teachers are teachers who read. Donalyn
Miller (2012)
 “Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single
sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself
felt at the end of the year.” Horace Mann (1796 - 1859)
 “Where do I find the time for not reading so many
books?” Karl Kraus (1874 - 1936)

9.  Standard II for the preparation of school librarians requires
a thorough knowledge of books and reading and how to
motivate students. AASL Standards.
 Students who score higher on "tests tend to come from
schools which have more library resource staff and more
books, periodicals and videos, and where the instructional
role of the teacher-librarian and involvement in cooperative
program planning and teaching is more prominent." Keith
Curry Lance, et. al. The Impact of School Library Media
Centers on Academic Achievement.

10. I begin, as always, with my OWN community
and consider how to create this for my
students.

14.  Some communities are temporary. We band
together for a purpose or a task. When it is
complete, we move on to other communities.
 Some communities are more permanent. We
band together because we share a common
interest or purpose. We remain a community.

15. We get to know one another, to understand one
another, to communicate with one another in
different forms and forums.
“We read to know we are not alone.”
C.S. Lewis

16.  Getting to know one another
 Understanding our background as
readers
 Learning how to communicate

17. • What did we read?
• What do we read?
• What might we read (if we had the time)?
• What is our experience with reading?

18.  Earliest memories of reading (home)
 Memories of reading as a child (home and
school), positive and negative
 Reading as a tween and teen
 Adult reading
 Titles, authors, events, etc.

20.  Access to books
 Models of reading
 Being read aloud to
 Owning books
 Talking about books with others
 Choice

22. Reading Timeline: March 10-17, 2013 F

24.  Retirement, when I can read all I want, what I
want, where I want, when I want
 Reading for committee work (sometimes with
my ears) combined with reading for job and
reading for pleasure.
 Reading for the job combined with reading for
pleasure (lots of overlap)
 Reading for the job and the dissertation (no
time for pleasure right now)
 Reading what my kids are reading (school
year) and pool books (summer time reading)
 Reading for my English classes (no time for
much pleasure reading)
 Reading the classics with pleasure reading on
the edges/fringe
 Reading for pleasure plus a few assigned
classics read via Cliff Notes
 Series reading (Drew, Cherry Ames, Sue
Barton)
 “Learning to read” meant counting # of
paragraphs until it was my turn then reading
ahead
 Being read aloud to, access to books and
libraries

25. “Children should spend less time completing workbooks
and skill sheets...there is little evidence that these
activities are related to reading achievement.”
Becoming a Nation of Readers: The Report of the Commission on
Reading, Richard C. Anderson, Elfrieda H. Hiebert, Judith A. Scott, and Ian
A.G. Wilkinson

36. Good Reasons for Using Twitter (PLN)

39. Staying Connected
If a seed of lettuce will not grow, we do not
blame the lettuce. Instead, the fault lies with
us for not having nourished the seed
properly.
Buddhist proverb
