Summer Reading is more important than ever in 2023
The Covid crisis has deeply affected the efficacy of schools since March 2020. Children all over the world need local librarians to build and deploy meaningful and compelling reading programs this summer--we cannot afford a summer slide this year.
We need better tactics, stronger tools and a new approach to sign up, engage and reward readers.
This three-part course is developed to help librarians everywhere access new techniques regarding how they will build cultures of reading in families and communities.
Building a culture of reading takes two essential ingredients: practices and information
The courses on this web page explain how to apply these three principles anywhere to build cultures of reading. The principles of quality reading programs are what drives the development of Reader Zone.
I invite you to create a free Reader Zone account and see it it's right for you. If it's not, that OK. I hope you find some value in these courses and some ideas you can apply to your own reading programs.
I welcome your input on these courses. I don't pretend to know everything or have all the experience. I love learning from literacy professionals about how we can make Reader Zone and what we teach better.
Call or email me anytime. I'd love to hear from you!
