My students love to read. Don't believe me? We are only at the mid-year mark and they have read nearly 400 books from a variety of genres including science fiction, poetry, political theory - that's more than my students read at the end of the last year in total!
As an English department we committed to increasing student success through the launch of an independent reading program. The concept was simple - teachers would build libraries and students would read IN CLASS for at least an hour a week.
We had no idea that this program would take off and spark a school-wide revolution, students were reading in the hallways, students were reading during other classes, and students were finding themselves in the pages of books in ways that I had never seen before.
