Reading attitude is everything!  Sometimes our readers just don't know what they are missing out on when they don't see themselves as readers or see reading as just another chore they have to do in school.

When readers are given the chance to explore their identity as a reader they will discover so much about themselves that will propel closer to reading proficiency.

What you'll gain from this episode...

• What your readers can learn about themselves as readers


• How reading identity projects are a form of informal assessment


• Why reading identity projects are important


• How and where to start with implementing reading identity projects with your readers


• Creating a reading snapshot of the class

• Readers' Notebook Mini Bundle: Resources to Get Started, Reflect & Set Goals

Here at Literacy Treasures, I LOVE to talk about reading and writing and share with teachers all that I've learned about what it takes to build strong readers and writers.  I have immersed myself in the research of Lucy Calkins, Stephanie Harvey, Debbie Miller, Carl Anderson, Gay Su Pinnell, Irene Fountas and so many others.  Every resource, strategy, tool, minilesson and teaching tip that is shared on Literacy Treasures is rooted in this research.
