Becoming a reader

Each semester I have several students who admit that they would not call themselves readers. This makes me sad (more like horrified), especially since many of the students I teach are either pre-service teachers or are currently teaching in our schools. Throughout the semester, we read books, blog about them, and talk about ways to find books they will like. We also discuss why being a teacher/reader is important for the students they will teach.

I think this is a great graphic on how to read more (and become a reader). The graphic is from Austin Kleon’s website (https://austinkleon.com/2019/03/21/how-to-read-more-3/). Go there to read more about how to read more.
