Building Independence: Cultivating a Community of Readers

In this episode:
Listen in as we talk about promoting self leadership through cultivating a community of readers in the upper elementary literacy classroom.
We talk about:
The what, the why and the how of building independence by promoting self leadership through cultivating a community of readers in the upper elementary literacy classroom.
Quotables:
-Cultivating a community of readers means that we create an environment where upper elementary students take on the identity of reader no matter what their current proficiency level with reading may be.
- Cultivating a community of readers in your literacy classroom matters, because your classroom could be the only place where students have gotten to claim that identity.
-We need to teach students what it means to be a reader and how to be part of a community of readers.
