If you have the ability to do the voice of a character can help the reader stay engaged. I would let students listen to audio books to get the students started. Then start introducing short stories that you think will be interesting or that the think might think will be interesting by taking a survey. From the information gather ed you will be able to get any student in your class interested in reading! bpjaguar29 https://padlet.com/tydo1011/5nsdue74fiqb/wish/493576631 Ben Swysgood]]> 2020-04-05 18:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tydo1011/5nsdue74fiqb/wish/493576631
