    Summer reading programs: help children and teens retain and enhance their reading skills over the summer; provide a haven and a community for readers; and are a valuable outreach tool for libraries. And now that schools are implementing the Common Core Curriculum, which embeds literacy in all parts of the curriculum, reading is becoming an even more essential skill for our children and teens. Great Perspective.

Those Tired Summer Reading Lists. Here's What to Do. - 0 views

  •  
    What does a summer vacation with required reading look like? For 16-year-old Heather Smith, every Friday last summer meant making sure her reading assignment was done. A junior at Golden West High School in Visalia, CA, Smith had to read Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and write weekly journal entries.* Make those choices student friendly.. Super advice

    I can't wait to use this resource! This bookmark allows students to organize their thoughts for discussion, and forces them to be conscious of their reading. They can come up with their own questions, or make them up based on the lesson. Not too bad for a dollar!

WeAreTeachers: "Don't Smile 'til Christmas": A Teacher's Worst Advice - 3 views

  •  
    When I first started teaching, I actually believed in the old educational aphorism, "Don't smile until Christmas." I remember thinking, "I'm young . . . I look even younger. I need to lay down the hammer early so kids don't mess with me." And there I was, reading the syllabus with a scowl.
  •  
    I read this article while in school for my teaching certification! It was great. Being warm and inviting is super important to creating a welcoming environment in the classroom! I love to joke around with my kids and lighten up when it's appropriate. It makes the hard stuff that much easier!

    This promotes a book, but it is a nice little article. It serves as a nice little reminder that we constantly have to adapt and make changes, and that that's okay. The book seems like a good summer read too!
