#calibchat I'm a lib asst in a HS in MA. Very little pleasure reading going on with students..."Drop and Read" for 15 min a day might help

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 Honor reader differences and preferences. Have books that are easily devoured as well as those that will push thinking #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Yes! You are so right, Marie. We need to provide choices students want #calibchat

Thnx 4 joining us, Jane. I was in a school with "drop & read." Not all teachers supported, but in general it was a big positive #calibchat

Question 2: #calibchat

iamjaneandrews Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#calibchat A1 I agree abt books where they can be seen and I'd arrange select books facing out with student snippets (little bk reviews)

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: I've shared @donalynbooks Book Whisperer & Gallagher's Readicide w/ teachers. #calibchat

sraslim Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Yes. Book covers are too cute to always be hidden #calibchat

In reply to @iamjaneandrews

abookforfrances Oct 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Hoping to partner w an art T in my bldg on these - I'll bring the titles, she can talk composition & the Ss will supply talent #calibchat

iamjaneandrews Oct 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#calibchat Q2 little teacher videos abt a book they would recommend and say why...I'd Snapchat the video and market it for a week

sraslim Oct 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1.5 I think exposing kids to audiobooks helps too #calibchat

abookforfrances Oct 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: talk abt *their* pleasure reading w/in earshot of students - 90% of time, a student will ask if we have a copy to borrow #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: I've offered book talks 2 classes, blind date w/ a book events, help w/ their reading lists, & always encouraging choice #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 I have conversations about how we actually read. We don't annotate very paragraph... please don't make a student do that. #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

sneaky, clever! #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Question 3 #calibchat

iamjaneandrews Oct 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#calibchat Q2 I'd invite teachers to spend some time...even 10 min...reading at one of the curl-up-and-read chairs...set an example

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

sraslim Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. I like posting the book I’m reading in my email signature. I think it builds an awareness thatWe are human and can enjoy books!

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Thanks for joining us, Jennifer. You are so right -- we need to have a large repertoire of suggestions based on our own reading #calibchat

In reply to @jzimnycricket

jzimnycricket Oct 26 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Lots of stuff on our website to help students find a good book. Slideshows, movie trailers, latest YA releases, my reviews, etc. #calibchat

Question 3 #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

I need to do a better job of marketing OUTSIDE my library #calibchat

In reply to @jzimnycricket

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

I love audiobooks & promote @audiobookSYNC every summer Some students love them, others don't. Everyone's different! #calibchat

In reply to @KatieJMcNamara, @sraslim, @audiobookSYNC

jane_librarian - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Oh, gosh! I hope you can change those policies soon, Marie! #calibchat

In reply to @sraslim

Ughh this has destroyed my boys. If a kiddo wants to read a book who cares if it's above their Lexile? What is the danger? learn? #calibchat
