The document discusses strategies for getting students excited about reading, noting that many students, especially boys, are disinterested in or averse to reading. It provides tips for teachers to personalize the reading experience for students, such as demonstrating the social aspects of reading, using engaging techniques like collaborative activities and projects, and focusing on building reading proficiency.

Want to raise readers be literacy models
The document discusses the results of a survey of 400 teachers and librarians across Texas about their reading habits and literacy practices. The survey found that most educators read only 1-2 books per month on average. This is concerning given that over 6000 books are published annually for K-12 readers. The document argues that to better support students and be strong literacy role models, educators need professional development to find time to read widely from different genres and formats, stay informed about new literature, and understand students' reading preferences. It provides recommendations for creating a literate school environment where reading is modeled and supported.
