Change it up for March is Reading Month!
Every month is Reading Month, but since March is designated as such, I encourage you to try some new things with reading in your classroom, no matter what your position or grade level in education.

3. Try Book Talks to engage and motivate readers:
4. E-mail me to check out books from the Diverse Lending Library at WISD
