They need a great start as well.

What new improvements are you thinking of making to your classroom library to help with this? I'd be interested to learn from you! I won't have my own classroom library for a little while, but I am trying to think of the best ways to teach my students to self-select level-appropriate books. I like the idea of book commercials to help with this...and love your thought about integrating technology with that! I'm realizing more and more that I really need to be continually familiarizing myself with books that would be good suggestions to give my students!

First of all, I'm so glad that you are...Jaana,<br /><br />First of all, I'm so glad that you are joining in the conversations! And what an experience to hear Donalyn speak and then read her book! <br /><br />I think conferring for me is always a goal ... and I feel like I fail all the time because of time! And then the daily note taking is lacking as well. <br /><br />Also, Donalyn shared so much about how students need to reflect more on their reading, especially to become independent wild readers. For the developing readers that I work with, this will be a challenge, but I think it is so important to walk through the reflective motions, model, practice, model some more! Same goes for selecting books to read. I have the same struggles, but I think there were so many great mini-lessons and conversation starters shared in the book that will help my students in choosing those good fit books. I have been known to hand over a book, but I need to implement the preview stacks.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your insights!<br />Michelle <br /><br />Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895290340118654990noreply@blogger.com
