Reading

 Developing a love and enjoyment of reading is essential to creating a community of readers. During our morning meeting, learners share their book progress, make recommendations, and give book talks to get others excited about reading. Learners participate in literature circles and book clubs, and share about these experiences in a variety of ways.

 Students use Schoology discussion boards and other online forums to discuss what they are reading and to make recommendations to others.

Learners also wrote persuasive book commercials that were then posted online. media type="youtube" key="tLbFN2qHZeA" width="560" height="315" Learners wrote Dr. Seuss books for Read Across America Day and shared them with a 3rd grade class using Skype.
