Students do not always come to us ready to learn all that we have to offer. You have to motivate students to want to be with you and learn as much as they can. This blog is intended to give you some resources and to get you thinking about how you can change your thinking and teaching to change your students learning and desire to be in your room. Learning is a two way street. Make sure both sides of the road as as wide as they can be so all the traffic can flow through!

Reading for Real!- Appeal to their interests and Make Real Readers!
Kathy Collins is becoming a new favorite in my teaching toolbox. Her book, Reading for Real, talks about motivating students to read by putting them in book clubs based on interests. We all know that learning is not a chore if we are interested in what we are learning about so check out this guide and source for how to run those book clubs in primary grades. Students really can be in a book club, even in first grade! This is a valuable resource for primary and will give intermediate teachers some great ideas to expand upon!
