I love to read to my students. Like most children, they LOVE to listen to me read. What children typically don't love to do is answer questions about what they've read. This year, I've been able to motivate Every Single Student in my class to write (enthusiastically) about what we've read together.


For maybe the first time in my entire career, I have every student excited to write about the texts we're reading in class. And they're excited every single day. This just makes me excited as well!!
