They also, except for some book groups, always have individual choice. Your ideas & via Donalyn's from her books are terrific, Deb.

It really starts with the teacher, and why would they want to be a teacher if they didn't love to read? I don't get it. I hope your class catches the reading bug and they have a passion for knowing books, so they can put the right one into the right hands. I wish all students had a book whisperer in their life.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232396492371281821.post-26392572634364599962014-02-04T13:33:28.540-05:002014-02-04T13:33:28.540-05:00This is a wonderful post...I also love The Book Wh...This is a wonderful post...I also love The Book Whisperer.

I think it is in the Allyn/Cunningham book that they talk about how teachers are often inadvertently creating stoplight readers instead of flashlight readers. Stoplight readers have to stop all the time and do things: ask questions, make predictions, talk about connections, etc. It can be tedious! Flashlight readers, on the other hand, love reading so much they hide under the covers are night with a flashlight so they can keep reading after lights-out. I think about the analogy all the time! I agree with Julieanne's comment. Sometimes it just takes time, and the right book and viola! When I started reading my own stuff during Readers Workshop, I felt that my students love of reading increased. I still read novels to the whole class, not just story books, and I have found that this is often just the push kids (grade 3 and 4) need to see themselves as novel readers. I am going to check out The Book Whisperer.

Loved the Book Whisper and Reading in the Wild by Donalyn MIller. Sometimes passing on the love works and sometimes you work so hard and there isn't acceptance. One thing I have learned with my own children is it takes time. It may not happen when we are teaching our group of students, but at some point if we teachers and parents don't give up on them, I believe they will get to book love.
