Loved this book especially because it was a super short read with practical ideas that we can start doing right away, some ideas that really resonated with me was the importance of: not having parents having reading lists that they force on to the kids but instead to help provide students with ACCESS to books (I love amazon kids+ app for the amazon tablet because of the updating books they keep adding, like Blippi and Robert Munsch books!), proving CHOICE so they can choose from books that they want to read, and Variety and Supporting readers, we can have students share their thoughts after they read a book such as maybe if it is possible to do book events, or podcasts *(might need to have someone who is 18+ to help them), or post cards to share what their thoughts are on a book, blogging (they mentioned kidblog), providing iPods with an audio read aloud of the book and a physical copy, I also like how there are more online options to help access books like Hoopla Digital, and Cloud Library through the public libraries and Kanopy which has books turned into videos with the text appearing as well.… (mere)
