Student and Results Focused


Ways to Help Students Internalize Habits of Lifelong Readers
(adapted from Donalynn Miller, author of The Book Whisperer)
 

1.       Dedicate time to read
       Teaching Tip: Encourage students to carry books with them everywhere they go.

2.      Share books and reading with others.
       Teaching tip: Provide many opportunities for students to preview, read,                                and share books together.

3.     Have reading plans. Good readers plan beyond their current book.
        Teaching Tip: Encourage series with struggling readers to maintain reading                        momentum and motivation.

4.     Choice matters. Students need to successfully self-select books.
        Teaching tip: Create “preview stacks” of 4-5 books for students who struggle with 
        choosing books.
