3 Secrets to Creating a Highly Engaged Reading Block

I can’t believe this is the final week of the Stellar Teach Summer Series! I’ve decided to end the series with one of the hot topics in education, which is reading engagement. Contrary to what many people think, you don’t have to jump through hoops to increase engagement. You must, however, make sure that you are intentional with how you’re keeping your students motivated.

At the end of the day, it is our job to make sure our students are engaged as much as possible. We must inspire them so that they will be the ones doing the work. After all, that is what engagement really means!

In this episode I share:

• 3 secrets to creating a highly engaging reading block

• Strategies to ramp up your read alouds

• How giving students choices increases their engagement

• Different ways to record reading responses
