Apply what we learned
# books published annually for K-12 readers
6000
If the majority of educators are reading <25
books a year:
How do they become role models for students?
How do they read even all the award winners or
starred review books?
How are they selecting books to be read?
If most are selecting books using platforms such as
Goodreads, where is the outside influence on reading?

PINTEREST IS NOT PEDAGOGY BY DONALYN MILLER
SO WHAT?
Part Two
Educators are not reading the forms and formats
that interest their students
Educators are not using all the tools at their
disposal (audiobooks)
Educators are not where their students are in
social media and are not using social media for
full effect
Some recommendations
Essential Elements
role models throughout the school
time set aside for reading
permitting choice of reading materials
having educators show interest in what
students read
access to books in and outside of school
How will YOU become
a role model?
Apply the research
Make a plan now.
