I will give them 10-15 minutes to read their library book, and give them an open ended writing prompt that relates to the skill being taught that day. ]]> 2021-09-27 12:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_abercrombie/n2fn2xpmxuwq/wish/1770935892 https://padlet.com/jamie_abercrombie/n2fn2xpmxuwq/wish/1770936458 Getting students off their phones during independent reading.

We are still working to get them out of the mindset of reading is boring/hard, and to try and get them to choose grade level texts for themselves (not mangas)

Essentially, allowing kids to "read with a purpose"
