The Reader Glow Up Bundle
You take your students to the library to check out books… and they spend more time following their friends around and hanging out than looking at the books.
You let them choose what to read for independent reading… and they’re staring at the wall for the full amount of time not even pretending to reading.
It feels like you’ve tried everything and you just keep hearing them say “I don’t like reading” or “I don’t like this book” or “This is boring”
You love reading, and you just want to instill that same love of reading in your students. But you’re beyond tired of this.
Every time you have independent reading time… you just want to pull your hair out and scream in frustration (but you also know the kids don’t care if you’re mad at them for not reading, because that’s how much they don’t care)
They think just sitting quietly with a book open is enough to convince you that they are actually reading.
So you feel defeated because you just want kids to see the power of books and stories that you do, but eventually decide to get rid of independent reading time because you could spend it doing work in the curriculum you’re already pressed for time to get through in the hopes that they’ll have to engage then.
But it’s not just that kids don’t want to read… it’s that they don’t even know what they like to begin with. Most teachers don’t have a system in place to help them find those books, so it’s easier to just give up because you don’t have the time or capacity to sit down with each kid individually.
This guide takes all of those frustrations and gives you a system for them from multiple walkthroughs of whole class book introductions that take 10 minutes or less to individual conferencing when you do have the time and capacity for it.
This 60+ page guide is designed for teachers who want to transform their reluctant readers into regular readers. If you’re struggling to find books that are engaging for students, this has all my best tips and tricks!
