The role of the teacher is important when it comes to promoting literacy because the teacher is meant to encourage students when it comes to reading, writing, and speaking. ]]> 2021-12-15 19:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950308578 ashleydean111 https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950312161 Going beyond the standard Y.A. literature or the Cannon method.

For example books about queer knowledge, female authors, etc. ]]> 2021-12-15 19:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950312161 ashleydean111 https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950315483 Reading groups, whether it be small or big, it is important. So promoting or designating at least 30 minutes a day to reading groups.]]> 2021-12-15 19:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950315483 ashleydean111 https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950321041 Teachers as the readers. No matter what age you are, it is always important for the students to see the teacher as a reader too. It will be difficult for some students to get into reading when they believe it is only themselves doing it. ]]> 2021-12-15 19:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950321041 ashleydean111 https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950323726 To promote literacy, some may look into individual journal entires daily for their students. You can have 2 separate piles, one for which students want their journal read, or one where the students don't. ]]> 2021-12-15 19:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950323726 ashleydean111 https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950329367 Host a read in! What child doesn't love pizza, pajamas, and a party?! This time, students are not only getting a party but they are receiving an educational one. So, host a read in where it could be an author, librarian, principal, or family members coming into the classroom to read bits and pieces of their favorite book to the class. ]]> 2021-12-15 19:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950329367 ashleydean111 https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950335091 Mystery selection. Teachers can host an event within their classroom. This event will consist of books wrapped in paper and students will come in and choose a mystery book and then unwrap the book they have chosen. After unwrapping it students will read the book then leave a review. This is a fun activity for students to venture out of their typical genre, author, or series selection.]]> 2021-12-15 20:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleydean111/hzjv1itcbfgby43k/wish/1950335091
