I think it will be important to teach my students about genres and formats so that they know what they are and what they are not. I would like to give them examples of certain genre books in different formats like Dr. Perry did in the video.

I would like to do some more research on genre-fying libraries (pros vs. cons). I can certainly see Dr. Perry's points against it and would like to see why others choose to organize their libraries in this way.
Here are a couple of blogs I found in favor:

And some with pros and cons:

I have always thought of genres as being fiction, nonfiction, historical fiction, humor, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, etc. However as I take this class this semester, I remember reading somewhere that often what we think is a genre is not. I am curious to learn more.

I think it would be great to do a school wide presentation to both teachers and administrators on building a community of readers. This will take time to implement and we really need to all work together in making it happen. Small changes can certainly take place in the classroom and by sharing this information with fellow teachers and parents, but in order to get administrators and the entire school on board it will be important to share the research that backs up these points.

I need to begin working on gathering research from Krashen and others to back up the need to build a community of readers. This will be important if and when I need to advocate for these things with an administrator.

Building a community of readers takes trust and time. Implement these things slowly (maybe one at a time):
1. There are real books in the school
-classroom library
-school (central) library
-home (as much as possible)
2. Read alouds encouraged regularly
-High school students need it as much as elementary
-Good to hear cadence and how to pronounce words
3. Share books with kids in large and small groups and individually
-Recommending books helps to build that trust
-NOT bibliotherapy - best left to counselor
4. Silent reading time at school every day
5.Kids are allowed to borrow books from classroom library, school library, and public library
-Make sure you have a collaboration with public library
-Let kids go to school library more than once a week!
6. Reading models everywhere
-Teachers, librarians, principals
-DEAR time
7. Choice
-Kids need to learn to select books for themselves
8.Kids need to have time to talk to each other about what they're reading
9. Response should and can take many forms
-Talk
-Conferring with somebody who has read the book
-A recommendation wall
-Art
10. Community
-Model and build this type of community in order to foster the love of reading in our students
-Prevent dip in reading in middle and high school

As a teacher, I know the importance of building a community of readers in the classroom. I would love to make reading fun and exciting and found so much joy in seeing a student find a book they enjoy. I think it is important to model behaviors that make a good reader, introduce good books, do read alouds, encourage reading for fun, host book clubs, and visit the school library frequently to expose kids to as many books as possible and build a community of readers.
