Learn moreHow do we inspire students to love reading and discovery? In Passionate Readers: The Art of Reaching and Engaging Every Child, classroom teacher, author, and speaker Pernille Ripp reveals the five keys to creating a passionate reading environment.
You'll learn how to . . .
● Use your own reading identity to create powerful reading experiences for all students
● Empower your students and their reading experience by focusing on your physical classroom environment
● Create and maintain an enticing, well-organized, easy-to-use classroom library;
● Build a learning community filled with choice and student ownership; and
● Guide students to further develop their own reading identity to cement them as life-long, invested readers.
Throughout the book, Pernille opens up about her own trials and errors as a teacher and what she's learned along the way. She also shares a wide variety of practical tools that you can use in your own classroom, including a reader profile sheet, conferring sheet, classroom library letter to parents, and much more. These tools are available as eResources to help you build your own classroom of passionate readers.
