Reading in the Wild Donalyn Miller, reading teacher and author of The Book Whisperer and Reading in the Wild Most effective way to become a better reader Staying a reader Communities of readers Models of readers Book choice
Choosing books I PICK Purpose – Why am I reading this book? Interest – Do I want to read this book? Comprehension – Does it make sense? (How will I enjoy this book?) Know – Do I know most of the words? (The ABCs and 123s of reading levels)
Reading realities Not enough time Hard to find “just right” books Too many other interests “I hate this.” Now what?
Q&A What are your questions? Your turn – conversation starters Do you consider yourself a reader? What is working for you and your child with reading? What’s your biggest reading challenge right now? What are some of your child’s favorite books? When do you find time to read?
