7 Ways to Encourage Reluctant Readers

by Teachers.Net Gazette

Feb 7, 2013

By employing the strategies described below, reading will become something that students do willingly, even eagerly, and the adults in their lives will not have to resort to trickery, bribery, manipulation, or any other tactic that will, at best, lead to temporary compliance. After all, we’re striving to make reading a joyous lifelong habit.

The every week problem

by Shawn

Feb 7, 2013

What to do? Every week a certain teacher comes in complaining about something. Such as, her students are bringing her personal copies of books with them to the library and she wants them to stop. They obviously don't have a barcode on them and so I spot them easily and send them back with the students. But she doesn't want them to bring them. Or, s...See More

Sigh- but here's a couple ideas Ugh! But... 1) get her a plastic tub if she doesn't have a book return container of her own, with her name on it 2)Book bringer is a weekly job. Every day that person can look in their book tub and make sure none of her classroom books got in there by mistake. On library day they bring it with them. 3)keep a supply (I use Zoobooks magazines and ran...See More

RSVP weekly problem During the next library visit: (If the students come once a week) Have the students come in and not checkout books that week. Rather they sit and have a forum about library return policy and why its important. Link with a writing assignment. If they are In kindergarten, encourage them to draw pictures about what was discussed. Lower grade, write se...See More

What does your typical day look like?

by Deedee/SD

Mar 2, 2013

I have been a middle school teacher in reading/la and computers for 19 years. Recently, we moved to a different town, and there are no English teaching positions open. There will be a library position (2 libraries- elementary- has an aide and HS). What does your typical day look like? I'd like an insider's view of how your school library's day happ...See More

But there is no typical There are 620 students at my K-6 elementary and I teach 6 classes a day back-to-back for 43 minutes as the teachers' planning time, Monday-Friday. I have 45 minutes of para help most of the time each day to quickly repair and deliver holds. At a neighboring district, teacher-librarians were cut back and they try to provide service to 2 or more scho...See More

Michele Mine is much the same... 750 kids, 35 minutes, back to back for K ~5 kids. I had a 4 hour clerk this year, but that position has been cut for next year. I'm am going to have to make a lit of changes in services since I'll be alone all day. :(

Yep! We had a media specialist at our school since it opened in 2006 who retired. This was my first year in the media center, so last August I sent out a google doc survey to find out what materials they used/didn't use, what topics they ...See More

Storytime ideas

by Deedee/SD

Jun 5, 2013

I recently spoke with my principal on what my schedule would look like. I will be doing a "story time" after lunch for about 15-20 minutes. This is great! I look forward to this.

The problem is kids will be "trickling" in after lunch. I can't count on the group being there all at the same time.

This is new due to us moving to a n...See More

Deedee//SD Yes, this will be for next school year. My understanding is each group would congregate to the library until a certain time, then leave as a group. The next grade would do the same and so forth. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the idea. It's starting to get the wheels rolling.

My principal also mentioned library skills for upp...See More
