How do we inspire students to love reading and discovery? In Passionate Readers: The Art of Reaching and Engaging Every Child, classroom teacher, author, and speaker Pernille Ripp reveals the five keys to creating a passionate reading environment. You'll learn how to...
Use your own reading identity to create powerful reading experiences for all students
Empower your students and their reading experience by focusing on your physical classroom environment
Create and maintain an enticing, well-organized, easy-to-use classroom library;
Build a learning community filled with choice and student ownership; and
Guide students to further develop their own reading identity to cement them as life-long, invested readers.
Throughout the book, Pernille opens up about her own trials and errors as a teacher and what she's learned along the way. She also shares a wide variety of practical tools that you can use in your own classroom, including a reader profile sheet, conferring sheet, classroom library letter to parents, and much more.
