MEANING Can be conveyed in many forms and
formats
Nonfiction is a good place to begin.
Graphic novels and GN format is also good for developing meaning in readers.

"Brevity gets right to the point doesn't dawdle, dicker, or delay always short and sweet whenever there is something to do or say brevity comes in handy when you are subject to a chewing out a bout of the flu a pain in the neck or waiting in line for the loo in fact, this poem has gone on so long that its recital would no longer qualify as an example of its title"

Flying SoloTime to go. . . solo.
Teacher hops out,open seat huge in its emptiness.
Only comfort, an airplane.Butterflies swarmin her stomach.
Breathe, girl.Courage beats fear.
Taxi down the runway,pick up speed,
pull throttle back,wheels lift off . . .
Flying solo.Breathe, girl.
The air up there is fine.

HAS ANYONE…
Ever been swindled?
There are many ways to describe Ms. Underdorf. She was brilliant and joyous, and she believed-probably
correctly-that libraries contain the answers to everything, and that if you can’t find the information you seek in the library, then such information probably does not exist in this or any other parallel universe now or ever to be known.
She was thoughtful and kind and always believed the best of
everybody. She was, above all else, a master librarian and knew where to find any book on any subject in the shortest possible time.
And she was wonderfully unhinged… And so the Amazing Armadillo.

BUT… How do we get students to pick them up
and read them?
BUT… What can we do about the students who
struggle?
AND… How can we assess the reading?
GETTING STUDENTS TO
PICK UP BOOKSWhat five factors play a role
in motivating reluctant readers?
RELUCTANT READERS
There is no one template
R U N RR?(ARE YOU A
RELUCTANT READER?)
Take this quiz and see…Select A for book on left and B
for book on right of slide…

RELUCTANT READERS ARE: Male and female
Young and old
Able and struggling
Overscheduled and overwhelmed
BUT THESE FIVE FACTORS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE: Titles that grab
Catchy covers
Authors they come to trust
Opening paragraphs that hook
Plus a book they cannot put down
TITLES THAT GRAB
COVERS THAT DEMAND ATTENTION
TRUSTED AUTHORS
OPENING PARAGRAPHS THAT LURE
BOOKS THAT DELIVER THE GOODS
KEEP THEM READING BOOKS

SWBST
“Watching from the outside, Twitter is like the dumbest thing you’ve heard of: “Why would anyone want to tell others what they are doing in 140 characters?”
And yet to dismiss Twitter is a mistake because it’s an incredibly powerful tool for your personal learning and connecting with others.” (Sue Waters, http://suewaters.wikispaces.com/twitter, @suewaters Original quote: Alan Levine)
FOUR KEY QUESTIONS What are the top 3-5 reasons you tweet? How has Twitter helped you
professionally? What sage advice do you have for
educators wanting to tweet? Who would be the top 5 people you’d
recommend others to follow?

I Dream in Twitter
(listen to the podcast http://www.box.net/shared/static/gqkaej08ww.mp3)
I dream in Twitter in 140 characters that cut off my thoughts before they are complete and then I wonder, why 140? Ten more letters would serve me right as I write about what I am doing at that moment in time, connecting across the world with so many others shackled by 140 characters, too, and I remain amazed at how deep the brevity can be.
I find it unsettling to eavesdrop on conversations between two when you can only read one and it startles me to think that someone else out there has put their ear to my words and wondered the same about me. Whose eyes are watching?
Twitter is both an expanding universe of tentacles and hyperlinks that draw you in with knowledge and experience and a shrinking neighborhood of similar voices, echoing out your name in comfortable silence.
I dream in Twitter in 140 characters, and that is what I am doing right at this moment

As readers, we have rights
AS WE FINISH UP, KEEP IN MIND…
•You have the right never to apologize for your reading tastes.
RIGHTS OF THE READER
You have the right to read anywhere you want—in the bathtub, in the car (preferably
at stop lights if you're driving), in the grocery store, under the porch, or while
walking the dog.
READERS’ RIGHTS
You have the right to read in exotic settings. You have the right to move
your lips when you read. You have the right to laugh or gasp out loud and choose whether or not to explain.
READERS’ RIGHTS
You have the right to throw any book on the floor and jump up and
down on it (the Dorothy Parker Rule).
RIGHTS OF READERS
•You have the right to read anything you want.
READERS’ RIGHTS
You have the right to read the book spine of the person sitting next to
you, even on a plane. And if you can't make it out, you have the
right to ASK.
RIGHTS OF THE READER
READ TO THEMBYSTEVEN LAYNE
Read to them.
Before the time is gone and stillness fills the room again. Read to them.
What if it were meant to be that you were the one, the only one, who could unlock the doors and share the magic with them? What if others have been daunted by such scheduling demands, district objectives, or one hundred other obstacles?
Read to them.
Be confident Charlotte has been able to teach them about friendship and Horton about self worth. Be sure the Skin Horse has been able to deliver his message.
Read to them.
Let them meet Tigger, Homer Price, Aslan, and Corduroy; take them to Oz, Prydain and Camazotz. Show them a Truffalo Tree.
Read to them.
Laugh with them at Soup and Rob, and cry with them when the Queen of Terabithia is forever lost. Allow the Meeker family to turn loyalty, injustice, and war into something much more than a vocabulary lesson.
What if you were the one, the only one, with the chance to do it?
What if this is the critical year for even one child?
Read to them.
Before the time, before the chance, is gone.
