Naked Reading: Uncovering What Tweens Need to… by Teri Lesesne
Best for reading teachers (I like the ideas for book report alternatives) but useful for librarians, too. What kids surveyed want to read: comics/graphic novels, magazines, series, NF, horror/suspense/supernatural, humor, mystery.
This book is chock full of ideas for inspiring kids to read. Whether you are a reading specialist, librarian, English teacher or any other kind of teacher, this book has a lot of useful discussion and ideas. This book made me excited to be a teacher every time I read it, and it makes me want to be a librarian. I recommend it for any educator or parent who wants to instill a love of reading in their kids.
Definitely one for every classroom teacher of the middle grades (gr4-8). Great ideas for teaching reading and motivating kids to read more. Favorite part - the Un-book reports! :)
Fabulous - had previously read The Book Whisperer (Donalyn Miller) and this fits nicely with what I learned from that.
