Its all about engagement!
  • Students must learn to enjoy and love reading.
  • Atwell believes in voluminous reading and the
    only way to do that is through student choice and
    interest.
  • Reading workshops are a great idea!
  • Book talks

What we need?
  • Better classroom libraries based on student
    interests.
  • Move away from classroom reading selections in
    which the entire class reads one selected book.
  • Invoke the Pleasure Principle!
