Scholastic Book Fairs Podcast

When teaching reading, American classrooms often focus exclusively on skills instruction. But how can you teach the “how” without the “why?” In IGNITING A PASSION FOR READING, Steve Layne shows teachers how to develop readers who are not only motivated to read great books, but also love reading in its own right. Packed with practical ways to engage and inspire readers from kindergarten through high school, this book is a “must-have” on every teacher’s professional book shelf. Steve, aka Dr. Read, offers teachers everywhere a plan for engaging even the most reluctant reader. From read-alouds to creating reading lounges to author visits and so much more, this book will help schools create a vibrant reading culture.
