Here we are, at the end of the first quarter of school, and I haven’t mentioned professional reading. As I prepare for upcoming PD days, I read our school’s recent book adoption, Every Child a Super Reader, by the outstanding literacy mentors Pam Allyn and Ernest Morrell.

Pam Allyn and Ernest Morrell point to 7 Strengths of a Super Reader, and they show how building these strengths in classrooms can help children to become lifelong readers. I love the practical uses and ideas mentioned here, and the way this professional book renewed my joy of reading.

It’s Monday! What are YOU reading?
