The temp was -5 degrees here this morning and got to a high of 7 degrees today! Wind chill was even lower! Perfect weather to stay inside and #Read4Fun all day!
Was a little warmer where I am. -1 this morn and got up to about 13. Tomorrow is going to be above freezing here! Woohoo! Supposedly 60 on Fri! #Read4Fun
Trevor. Art and literacy teacher from NJ. Happy to join for a bit. Think about using visual texts to help your strivers engage comprehension and to help them join the classroom convos. #Read4Fun
Hi Everyone! Jamie, MS #healthed T happy to join #read4fun to tonight! Been awhile! Recently finished the @BlueZones of Happiness! Excellent 4th book by Dan Buettner! Been sharing with my Ss! Waiting for the other two here to arrive!
My #oneword2018 is Adventure🏃, & #Read4Fun 📕 is part of this experience! Reasonable goal 4 me is 2 books/month plus journals, news, etc. & to be a #ZenTeacher 🌴🌻 Reading for just 6min lowers stress by 2/3! Plan to re-discover my local library & several small bookshops too!📚
I'm going to try and do better about using @goodreads to log, too. I used to be really good about tracking books and I found it helpful when I can't remember if I've actually read the book before! #Read4Fun
Definitely, I wrote a chapter for this year about our #PBL experience, lots of great chapters in the books, so many topics, really enjoying it #read4fun
I start lots of notebooks and then they get misplaced so I start over! I should dig them all out and merge them! A summer project maybe .... or the next snow day! #Read4Fun
A2 I would like to change the way I record and log my reading. I don’t always rate or review books so that is an area I would like to become more reflective and involved. #Read4Fun
Slide 2 Q3 Resolution for 2018: I need to read more books that take place somewhere besides the US. This is my reading setting map that I've been keeping for 2 years. I see some big holes! I've got books that take place in NYC covered! #read4fun
Responding to my reading is my resolution for this year too! I'm going to try to write more reviews on @goodreads & Amazon. Where are you thinking about? #Read4Fun
Hopping in while watching the Panthers - Mollee from OBX, NC. A2 - My goals each year are to try to read more widely from picture books through adult, various genres, and definitely experiences & characters different from me! #read4fun
A3 I always find time to #Read4Fun at the end of each day. Sometimes I am able to read for a quick 15-20 mins in the morning and that will keep me motivated to pick up the book when I get home. #Read4Fun
A3 Something that always remains a challenge for me is getting to my TBR pile before it gets out of control. So many great titles and so many more coming in 2018! #Read4Fun
I was thinking similar! A graphic novel would be new for me, & Persepolis is a graphic about the authors life pre- & post- Iranian Revolution. My Hub came here 2 days before they closed airports there in '79. His family escaped. #Read4Fun
A3. Time is my biggest challenge, which means being more deliberate than just grabbing a few minutes here and there. Also will start reading books at lunch. #read4fun
I like this. I wanted to do something similar with my Ss last year, but fell into problems finding books from throughout the world. I need more time planning this activity. #read4fun
Here is a visual from The Art of Comprehension that can help you and your students think about and discuss the books that you love. It helps engage comprehension and craft: #Read4Fun
Q3: I'm going to make a bigger effort to read books that take place in other countries.
I make sure that I listen to an audiobook every night when I'm falling asleep. I always make sure to use a sleep timer though! 😜 #Read4Fun
A3 I want to challenge goals this year by asking Ss to read titles with me that I might not have time for & they give me feedback! My TBR is always too long and would be a good way to encourage book talking among Ss #read4fun
A3: I am going to try using the library more this year, but I have a feeling I may get frustrated and end up buying. It's so hard not to have the books in my personal library. Hate to give them back. #Read4Fun
I think I want to make a resolution to power down the digital devices more. Sometimes it gets in the way of reading because I get too distracted. #Read4Fun
A3 Finding time, but I keep books in multiple places and it makes it easier to find time, 1 at school for during lunch, one in car for gym (thanks @daviswelcome#fitnessfanatic2018 ) and one at home to read at night #Read4Fun

If I had to guess, maybe I read around 35-40 books, but I read a ton of blog posts regularly and make time for those each day, especially posts of PLN :) #Read4Fun

I used to read at the gym while on cardio machines, but now since i need my glasses reading on the machines has fallen to the wayside. I used to LOVE reading while walking or riding. #read4fun
In reply to
@Rdene915, @read4funchat, @daviswelcome
That's a good plan! For grown-up reading I tend to enjoy books more that take place somewhere else because of the insight I get into that culture. #Read4Fun
I'm curious about Sing, Unburied, Sing. I read one other book by that author, Salvage the Bones, but didn't enjoy it all that much so I'm debating Sing. #Read4Fun
