High school students and reading? Frequently too many other activities take our students away from the unabashed pleasure of reading for FUN. Leslie B. Preddy has found a way for all teachers...not just English, to bring the joy of reading back to kids.
Ms. Preddy begins with the foundations...the "why" (if you will) of how this project came about. She then continues with practical and USABLE ideas for the classroom.
I "slowed" down in requiring my students to "read for enjoyment," because so many other lessons SEEMED more necessary for those all-important high-stakes tests. NOT ANY MORE! These lessons WILL help all students achieve.
Ms. Preddy will remind why you became a teacher in the first place...for the great joy of seeing a child "get it."
This book should be required reading in colleges and in faculty study groups!
