Now I spend my time "nerding" out  and reading books, blogs, and pins about literacy. Why? Because I want my students to feel empowered through language and literacy. In the same why I did when I finally recognized myself as a reader.

I love using this wacky story with my students. It makes for a great read aloud or guided reading book. This is also a current struggle of mine simply because I am geared towards specific genres that I love more than others. So I have to be intentional about the read alouds that I do choose with the understanding that my students need to be exposed to a variety of genres, not just my favorite ones.

Night was the first book that ever made me "feel"  deep emotion. This memoir truly captivated my heart and caused me to reflect on the human condition even after the school day was over. It is a story that I recommend to all people even those with weak stomachs simply because it is so powerful and forces the reader to re-think their views about humanity, politics, and even religion.

Symbolism added onto my strengthened ability to use imagery helped bring this story to life in 9th grade. I remember looking forward to reading aloud in class and discussing the text structure. I was no longer afraid of round robin.

This series was my gateway into reading for pleasure. These books were the first self-selected stories I read once I learned how to visualize what I was reading. I could see movies in my mind and that was exciting. No to mention the adrenaline rush I felt as I read them.

I remember reading this book rond robin style in 3rd grade. During this time I was pulled out of class for "special" reading help with Mrs. Muerer. I loved going with her. I felt safe reading with her because she wanted to help me learn. She made me feel special. Click on the link below to listen to a read aloud of Chapter 1!
