I try to promote teacher reading by sharing new books with the teachers. Since I am their prep period, they don't really get a chance to stop in and see what's new, so I highlight a few titles when they pick up their kiddos. I also had a 40 book challenge bulletin board up out in the hallway with book covers showing what I had read. I also have a "what I'm reading" sign on both of my entrance doors. This year I hope to create a blog to highlight some of the new/popular books.

Next year I would like to try something I saw on a public librarian's blog. It's a genre book club that meets once a month. Rather than everyone read the same book, I would pick a genre and everyone would read a different one from that genre.  At the meeting we each give a short book talk and come away with a whole list of books rather than just one.  The idea is that it will help with readers advisory and you have people you know and are available in the building to make suggestions.  It can even show students that people other than their classroom teacher can be resources for reading recommendations.

Right now I just talk to the student and ask them why they aren't reading. Most say they really are reading. Now I am going to ask them what they are interested in, etc.

I have talked to students when they checked out their books. I also ask them why they have chosen that particular book. Some students automatically talk to me about their books. This year I am going to give them about 5-10 minutes to talk in small groups about their books.

I have books displayed outside and inside the library. I put out new books and classic.  Some teachers borrow them most just walk away. Some teachers have stated that they don't like to read. i have also talked to teachers about books that I have just read and would they be interested.

In September I will enter my 18th year as a hs librarian. I have always had a small enclave of readers, but I would like to see reading enthusiasm spread throughout the building. One of my goals for next year is to begin laying the foundation for our reading culture. At the end of this past school year I sent an email asking for staff "shelfies" and have received three already. I'll send another email at the beginning of the year, and probably make an announcement at our opening faculty meeting. I will post these on a bulletin board outside the library. My admin is on board, so I pretty much have free reign... I think I'll also use some quotes and stats from this book to promote reading.  ~ Wendy Scalfaro, Central New York

Agree with Sara R about kids thinking all reading has to be done in one chunk. As a 2nd grade teacher (before becoming a librarian), I was sure to tell students reading 10 min here and there is the same as reading 30 min all at once.

I'm wondering how many children think like Tristen that reading time has to be all 20min at one time or nothing. I'm going to make sure to bring that up to teachers to talk about with kids at the beginning of the year.

Love the reading bulletin board idea... we are using a  "ship" theme for "leadership" this year so I might could do something with that..

I was also thinking of doing short book clubs with teachers around children's book award nominees. Maybe off campus meeting places.

For Edge reading, I was thinking of piloting with a couple of teachers an hour every other week for them to come and do reading conferences which could focus on book choice and just right books.

I am in a primary school with pre K-2. so my teachers will read picture books but do tend to rely on old favorites rather than reading great new literature for children.

I think the edge time reading mini-lesson described in the book (pp. 14-15) is perfect for a library lesson. After the mini-lesson, I want to create an ongoing bulletin board and/or online space for posting student "selfies" of edge reading.

The way I respond to non-reading behavior is by asking the student about their favorite movies, hobbies they may enjoy, favorite sports, and favorite class novel studies.  Answers generated from this talk usually give me a direction in which to point the student.  I also like to recommend graphic novels to students who are reluctant readers.  Graphic novels tend to grab their interest with a fun format.  These students generally will come back asking for more.  Once I have them "hooked" into reading I try to expand their world into simple chapter books appropriate for their tastes and capabilities.

I really like the bulletin board idea! I think that is an excellent idea to show the students that EVERYBODY reads.

I'm transferring to a new school this year, and plan to heavily promote the library as partner in developing lifelong, self-winding readers. Discovered this great bulletin board idea recently- I love the suggestion to include all staff, from bus drivers tothe principal, when building a school culture of reading.

I'm popping in today to share a bulletin board I created for the start of school. During our back-to-school inservice days I took pictures of our faculty members peeking out from behind books. Teachers were so creative...some chose their favorite children's book, some chose the books they were currently reading, others chose newspapers, magazines, e-readers, and even menus from their favorite restaurants.

It's fun to see the kids gather around the display and discuss who's who. I snuck a few tricky pictures into the mix...for example, our school nurse (reading a book about infectious diseases) and our superintendent (reading "Leading with Soul").

Here's a close up of a framed picture. I printed the frames on colored paper and laminated them. Once I trimmed the lamination, I cut open the corners with an Exacto knife and slid the photos into place. The frames took a little bit of time, but I plan to reuse them for another project later in the year.

I used this picture from Pinterest as my inspiration. However, it wasn't linked properly. So if this is your bulletin board, please let me know. I'd love to give you credit. :)

Click { here} grab a copy of this bulletin board freebie for yourself. There is a full color and a black and white version provided for ink friendly printing.

I'd love for you to share a picture of your bulletin board on my Facebook page, if you use it.
Enjoy! :)

I shared more interactive bulletin board ideas over at Adventures in Literacy Land. I'd love for you to visit me there.

I spent a lot of time reflecting on how I cloudless capture my struggling readers. I begin keeping a "stash" of my personal books that I bought before they were released on the shelves and I would pull students on the side that I knew would like them possible asking if they would want to preview them. They knew they were my books first off not the and that I truly counted on them to tell me whether I should buy for the library of not. I also allowed students to eat breakfast in the library and read as well before school.

This was my first year as the librarian  and I was filling some pretty big shoes so it took me awhile to adapt one coming from the classroom setting to the library setting and two becoming comfortable with my new role in our building.

I would like to start the year off with students, like in the book, keeping track of their reading lives for one week.  The next time we meet we would list all the times/places that they read.  We would discuss their answers then brainstorm ways/places that they could have used for reading time.  Students will then be asked to once again keep track of their reading lives for a week; however, this time they are to add one or more of the "edge" times discussed in class.

Like Ms.O, I made "I'm reading" signs that are posted on my entrance doors that are laminated and follow our school theme.  Several teachers saw the signs last year and made their own.

I've made some "I'm reading" signs in other themes besides mine. Which are Star Wars, of course. The teachers either laminate them or put them in a frame and then can add titles with a dry erase marker or small printouts of the book covers. Only gets the teachers that would read anyway but it's something.

We don't really host binge reading because we don't have room for any comfy chairs. :/ Still working on convincing admin. They use the space for small groups. Which I don't want to be rude and kick out. But those are the tables I'd get rid of to make some floor space! Already got rid of 60% of our shelving!

We have
Lunch Bunch Book Clubs to promote teachers reading! The teacher selects from sets of books I create for the clubs. Students sign up to be a part of the club. All read the entire book and then have lunch with the teacher to discuss the book. We had more than 40 clubs meet last year!
