But I Do Read: Lessons in Pop Culture from a Teenage Girl by Colleen Pennell | Nerdy Bo... - 0 views

  •  
    Colleen Pennell, of the Nerdy Book Club reflects on her teen daughters early disinterest in reading. "My guess is that many girl readers who are reluctant may not have been provided enough choice over what they read and/or have been fed a nonstop diet of leveled books since kindergarten. Moreover, little respect has been afforded to the multiple types of texts, both traditional and nontraditional, that girls consume. In this blog post, I reflect upon the reading lives of girls, especially those who are reluctant, and focus upon three avenues that can help all girls feel like a member of the literacy club."

Critical Reading Towards Critical Writing - 0 views

  •  
    Critical writing depends on critical reading. Most of the papers you write will involve reflection on written texts - the thinking and research that has already been done on your subject. In order to write your own analysis of this subject, you will need to do careful critical reading of sources and to use them critically to make your own argument. The judgments and interpretations you make of the texts you read are the first steps towards formulating your own approach.

A Fun Way to Engage Elementary Students' Minds and Bodies With Books | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    "Reading isn't generally considered a dynamic activity, but students who participate in a StoryWalk get to not only hear a great story but stimulate parts of their brain that are normally at rest when they sit down with a book. Instead of snuggling up in a cozy reading spot, readers are presented with colorful pages from an illustrated book, displayed one-by-one on stakes as they stroll along an indoor or outdoor walking path. Readers are able to take their time and reflect on the subtle nuances of the story, make inferences about what may happen next, and have co-constructed conversations with any walking partners."
