Learning about Michigan history from the author @janielynnpanagopoulos #ikefraser #fraserfamily

@KZombo @jmattmiller Loved that book!!! Hope you bring back some great ideas

Getting ready to Tech like a Pirate with @jmattmiller at #macul22!

Good night friends-love when we chat about reading! #2ndchat

Read to self time and choice #2ndchat

@kosienm Great idea-just chat! Simple but powerful

A6. My students love to TALK about their reading! After Read-to-Self, we do partner chats. I've slipped on those lately and need to get back to making the a priority! #2ndchat

@FirstAtBat I use the global read aloud books yearly-the list is getting pretty big, add in the sequels takes up most of the year 😀

Another fun thing with read aloud is collaboration with other classes. I love Global Read Aloud for that and then seem to do more of it after. #2ndchat

Balance between reading on level, then allowing them to just listen to high interest books, fun things in guided reading and time- #2ndchat

@kosienm @Flipgrid Same here-I did last yr. switching grades this year has me all backwards and upside down

A3. Anyone use @Flipgrid for sharing/booktalks? #2ndchat

A3 Choice is huge- it’s fun to watch them negotiate “I’ll give this one to you when I’m done” they also love to re read the read alouds #2ndchat

A2 struggling readers have a hard time finding the joy-it is magical when they do! My favorite part of teaching#2ndchat

@lolipoplisa28 I am always adding to my class library- esp to try and hook my readers

I read too much! Mostly fluff as a way to de-stress. But about once a month I choose something more substantial, usually educational pd or spiritually challenging. I also spend a good portion of my monthly income on children's books...I might have a problem. 🤷‍♀️ #2ndchat

@FlowersClass2nd @kosienm @LibbyApp I use my Libby app mostly now

@kosienm #2ndchat A1) I love to read. I like to read realistic fiction. I love books, but I am enjoying reading books on @LibbyApp .

Let's get started. When responding, tag your answers based on Q#. [Ex: Q1 - begin with A1. ]Put the focus on yourself for a moment....#2ndchat

@kosienm I joined a non fiction book club and since that isn’t my favorite genre I had to move to audio while I’m driving to work. Enjoy the books but just can’t do the real reading for those.

A1. I LOVE to read, but sadly don't find enough time during the school year. I've been doing a lot of audio books in the car & at night. I enjoy a variety of books -realistic fiction mostly. Although I love a good Harlen Coban! #2ndchat

@kosienm A1. I love fiction- mostly suspense and romance for when I need something quick #2ndchat
