Five Tips for Helping a Student Find The Right Book

As we gear up for the start of a new year, there is a great deal of excitement across Grapevine-Colleyville ISD with a more consistent SpringBoard focus (in grades 6-12), Reading and Writing Workshop, the GCISD 25 Book Challenge, etc.  Teachers are already making plans on how to deepen the experience for our students in reading and writing.  From looking at increasing daily time to have students practice reading and writing, to conferring with students helping them to grow as readers and writers, we have some dedicated teachers who are looking for ways to do their job better!  In GCISD, this coming year promises an even better literacy experience for our students.  It's a great time to be in our district!

I like the following graphic I found on Twitter.  As teachers, we are constantly working with students to help them find just the right book. Hopefully, this graphic will provide some directions for teachers as they help their students discover a love for reading this year.
