    I get that - I love a lot of the new books as well. But my students thank me when we read Phantom Tollbooth together as a class! #5thchat

    A very worthy pursuit! #5thchat
    In reply to @MrBuetow, @Newsela, @PaulSolarz

    Same!! It's an interesting test to see which kids love learning are naturally curious, and love word play. #5thchat

  • teachstrickland May 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A2: you have to give Ss choice or most won't read or enjoy it. #5thchat #studentchoice
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Always wondered if the word play would work on audio. I assumed you had to read the puns in order to get them. I'll need to listen! #5thchat
    In reply to @Ed_Stories, @MrBuetow, @Newsela
  • Partain_Science May 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    I loved The Witches! Read it multiple times! #5thchat

  • bgriffinteach May 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A2: If Ss get to choose at least 1 thing they need to read, they are more apt to actually read it. Need to connect. #5thchat
  • jharringtonrm18 May 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Hi I'm Julie. I teach 4th grade in Massachusetts. We've got 18 more days to go #5thchat
  • TrishKing6 May 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2. It encourages a love of reading, is a way to explore interests, and most importantly they will read it! #5thchat
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Wow! That's completely awesome! Would've loved to see that! #5thchat
    In reply to @Ed_Stories, @MrBuetow, @Newsela
  • PapaBacher May 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2: Kids won't read or learn when they don't like what they are doing! Make learning fun, and find ways to allow the student voice #5thchat
  • ItsMrsPenrod May 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2 Student choice should fit into reading @ any time of year! Helping Ss figure out WHERE 2 get books can be an issue I'm learning #5thchat
  • SoperWritings May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1 - Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States -the reason I ended up majoring in history - now I use it w my 7th graders #5thchat
  • MsGrady_NMS May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1: I had all of the Babysitter's Club books and R.L. Stine "Horrors" (and would then have to sleep with a nightlight) lol #5thchat
  • iteach5m May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2 Choice is so important for Ss, but like suggestions from me or other classmates. Let kids take home books from the classroom. #5thchat
  • Ed_Stories May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Absolutely. Staging literature, mock trials, talk shows with characters as guests, writing from character's POV - energizes the Ss! #5thchat
    In reply to @Newsela, @PaulSolarz, @MrBuetow
  • daniellecaryn May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    #5thchat A2 provide topics rather than required titles?
  • LDJr_Mrs May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2 Student choice during summer is very important. Reading is competing with video games, water slides, and sleepovers. #5thchat
  • CaraBellMI May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2 Choice is key in (summer) reading. Guide with recommendations and book lists to get started. #5thchat
  • MistaB10 May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Ron, TIS fr Houston. A1: Anything @StephenKing. #5thchat
  • MissNikkiIn5th May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2: Student choice is the epitome of summer reading, if you ask me! Let them choose what they want to enjoy! #5thchat
  • jharringtonrm18 May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1 I remember reading Judy Blume, Sweet Valley High, and pretty much anything I got my hands on #5thchat
  • SoperWritings May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2 - having a common text an be valuable - but so is giving Ss different options to share their learning from that summer reading #5thchat
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2 - Going into our middle schools, students get to choose from 2-3 books, but the titles are older & not interesting to many. :( #5thchat
  • teachstrickland May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    I agree. Our library has a bookmobile this year which is great for those who can't get to the library #5thchat
    In reply to @ItsMrsPenrod
  • EmilyLepkowski1 May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2: I love the idea of sharing all the places to read in the summer and encouraging when to bring books along #5thchat
  • MrBuetow May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2: That's all there is! Shouldn't matter if it's during the summer or during school, choice is paramount. They must enjoy it! #5thchat
  • bfarrauto May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2 Motivation to read should be intrinsic. Develop positive relationships to figure out what it is. Guide them to just right books #5thchat
  • jharringtonrm18 May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2 Choice is critical sometimes guided choice can be helpful in nudging kids toward good Lit. #5thchat
  • Grayteach1 May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A1-Patsy From Wyoming. Summer started last Thursday for me. #5thchat
  • mrsjenyoung May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2 I think choice is what helps Ss discover books they might not otherwise pick up. #5thchat
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2 - My students are just encouraged to read as much as they'd like over summer. I even lend them books from our classroom library. #5thchat
  • LemarrTreadwell May 30 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    What is the biggest competition to Ss reading over the summer? I believe it is their ScreenTime. #5thchat
  • Ed_Stories May 30 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    I agree. My daughter is more excited to read books she hears about from friends and then brings home than anything I pick out! #5thchat

    Here comes Q3... #5thchat
  • MrBuetow May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    One of my biggest fears for my Ss as they leave. So many tell me once they leave they don't have time to read anymore. No choices. #5thchat
    • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT
      A2 - Going into our middle schools, students get to choose from 2-3 books, but the titles are older & not interesting to many. :( #5thchat

    That is an incredible and inspiring picture! #5thchat
    In reply to @PaulSolarz
  • Grayteach1 May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    A2-There should be nothing but Ss choice esp. in summer. Nothing kills engagement more than being told what to do in your time off #5thchat
  • Newsela May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    Q3 How do you get Ss excited about summer reading? #5thchat
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    Sounds like your teaching style (student-directed learning) and mine are very similar! Love it!!! #LearnLAP #5thchat
    In reply to @Ed_Stories, @Newsela, @MrBuetow
  • ljbh35 May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    Perfect time for Ss to explore what they like and make their own choices. #5thchat
  • EmilyLepkowski1 May 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A2: Books are one choice but reading is more now... help them see other choices social media, magazines, audiobooks... #5thchat
  • Ed_Stories May 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    Yes - your Mars projects rocks. And PS, can you tell I miss the classroom? Love sharing with teachers regardless. #5thchat

    Hey #5thchat, Kristin from #Chicago joining in for a few minutes to talk summer reading! Great to be with you!
  • bgriffinteach May 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A3: In my district, Ss can read any fiction or nonfiction they want to complete the assignment, so I push the personal choice idea. #5thchat
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator May 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    Thanks Austin! Years of garage sales, library sales, Scholastic points, etc.! I probably have too many books at this point! #5thchat
    In reply to @PapaBacher
  • MrBuetow May 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    Or your work time either. Agency and autonomy are key to engagement. Let them choose & they'll be more engaged at any time of year. #5thchat
    In reply to @Grayteach1
  • CaraBellMI May 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    More exciting when you know you have someone to share that book love with, too. Or ask questions. Just talk about, really. #5thchat
    In reply to @Ed_Stories, @iteach5m
  • KristinZiemke May 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT
