We have been learning virtually since March 2020. Most of my students are English Language Learners. They don't have access or means to buy the books they need to read in order to create the habit of daily reading. Together, we made a list of books that interest them, and we drafted the goal of reading every day for 20 to 30 minutes a day for pleasure, but also because we understand that reading will allow us to grow our vocabulary, expand our creativity, and improve our reading skills. Many of these students are trusting me when I tell them that reading is the most important thing they can do to educate themselves, and are excited to get actual books in their hands so they can shut down the electronics, get comfortable, and enjoy a great story.
