You'll learn how to . . . ● Use your own reading identity to create powerful reading experiences for all students ● Empower your students and their reading experience by focusing on your physical classroom environment ● Create and maintain an enticing, well-organized, easy-to-use classroom library; ● Build a learning community filled with choice and student ownership; and ● Guide students to further develop their own reading identity to cement them as life-long, invested readers. Throughout the book, Pernille opens up about her own trials and errors as a teacher and what she's learned along the way.
