--For kids who struggle or don't love to read:  find short pieces they might be interested in; reach out to parents; ways to pass on info about what works for kids, esp struggling readers.
--Disciplinary literacy--what is the point of the type of reading we are doing?  What reading skills do I need for this type of reading?  How can all content areas get kids excited about reading?
--Utilizing librarians, Susan Schrader at AEA, book boxes from AEA, reach out to authors, BookTube.
--Have other students share their excitement about reading.

Meadows - choice, Animal Farm, Romeo and Juliet, short stories
High School - almost all reading is done together, 20-40minutes a week for IR/Choice
--Middle school students read on their own a lot
- Meadows and High School students choose to play on their computers and phones instead
- Does each level have enough books for students to read class stories at home?

Start the year with a class book to show how to read, analyze, etc. THEN let them go into choice.

HS - We did lit circles where they chose from four books and that little bit of choice was great.

6th grade - Independent reading all year and they chart their pages. Teachers check that they're meeting their goal.

Conscious effort to give them more IR time in Meadows.

Middle school - 20 IR time three times a week, journal twice a week.

Book Talks - Rate book out of five stars, who they'd recommend the book to, brief summary.

Book Source allows students to give a review - five stars/write a review. Could be a requirement so other kids can read the review. (Can use iPad/tablet to check out and keep in the room.)]]> 2018-09-26 19:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286225571 Class Books vs Choice jordan_presnall https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286229665 Goal setting-middle school (class goals and independent goals) connected to IR books

IR books (one project for each quarter) at Meadows)

Middle School SOAR-discussing background knowledge especially at the beginning of the book 

How to fit into the time? -attempting small group during lunches, sign-ups before/after school, WIN time sign ups-pull kids then 

Maybe try partner conference? Flipgrid? ]]> 2018-09-26 19:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286231671 Reading Conferencing https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286231678 All agreed - We don't conference much about the reading. Middle school conferences when students want to abandon books.

Meadows - Setting up conferences before/after school, during lunch, and during plan times. They have reading conference questions to ask students when they conference once a quarter.

Are we robbing the joy of reading?

Options to showcase their reading rather than only focusing on conferencing.

Utilize instructional coaches to help facilitate conferencing.

Conferencing would be great to help determine when struggling readers are stopping their reading.]]> 2018-09-26 19:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286231678 https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286231700 HS - conferencing for me is hard. I don't want to interrupt the reading time. I have students turn to their table mates to share what happened in their books that day. Still have problems with students not reading.
Middle School - meet at the beginning of the year. Random check ins from there. Nothing purposeful.
Meadows: AO - assign kids to talk about IR books - then students do a book report]]> 2018-09-26 19:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286231700 https://padlet.com/sally_brown5/9cynhpkd6w68/wish/286234673 High School
setting goals; reading logs - title, page

Meadows: data tracking - what are they reading, how much have they read, etc. 

Middle: students know that once they finish an in-class assignment, they can get their IR books out. 
Every early out Wednesday is a whole IR reading class
