@brianwyzlic @enpremierclasse @mandyeellis @cherylreads have 'reading slams' at school. #learnlap

@mra_mb I'm so mortified by this that I don't even know how to respond. Students have enough obstacles without adding more! #LearnLAP

@enpremierclasse Best field trip we take: Public library and Ss get a library card. It's a big big deal. Very ceremonial #LearnLAP

#learnlap A7 Reading logs need to go. Probably the biggest deterrent to reading going. #learnlap

@Owl_b_TorresEdu @TiawanaG A daily log of minutes/pages is waste. A simple finished book list is perfect @donalynbooks #LearnLAP

A7 no reading logs, no vocabulary look up from the novel were reading, no end of the chapter questions, just joy of reading #LearnLAP

@Owl_b_TorresEdu @teach1991 remember our audience. Kids don't all have the tools/ resources to maintain a log #LearnLAP ( pencils, mom, etc)

@PaulSolarz hey.... any chance you can remind me of when I'm moderating? I lost my post-it... I think it was #learnlap...

Alternatives to reading logs: I have my Ss record their page # each day on a sheet they pass around. It gives me the info I need. #LearnLAP

@TiawanaG @Owl_b_TorresEdu Agreed. Finished book log takes a minute/can be done at school. Time in school to read is crucial! #learnlap
