How to Get Students to Connect with Books Through Choice Reading Units with Samantha Heil

Samantha from Samantha in Secondary joins us on today's podcast to share her passion for choice reading with her students - you know I'm all about that! She shared how she incorporates choice reading units in addition to her regular curriculum. If you are looking for enrichment reading activities, Samatha shared many with us such as book tastings, speed dating, literary field trips, one-pagers, and so much more. These activities not only help the teacher assess what students know and can do, but they also help students to engage with content in a meaningful way while providing a real world experience.
