Live Online Chat:
Helping Students Find Their Inner Reader.
When:Tuesday, April 7, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time
Getting students to read is a dilemma that nearly every teacher and parent has faced at some point. Studies have found that reading interest levels off for many children at about the 4th grade, once comprehension issues come into play. Donalyn Miller, teachermagazine.org blogger and author of the recently published, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader, believes she has found an antidote to this problem. Her students each read at least 40 books a year and consistently perform well on state tests. How does she do it? What are her teaching secrets? And how can you apply her approach to your particular classroom? Donalyn Miller will share her teaching tips and answer your questions in this live chat.
