TEACHERS AS READERS

Mr Firman in the library
Teachers as readers:
1. Let their students see them reading a variety of texts
2. Talk to students about their reading lives
3. Talk about how their reading influences their writing
4. Talk about new vocabulary in their reading and how they go about understanding it
5. Tell students about the reader relationships they form with students, family, and friends and with fiction and non-fiction characters
6. Tell students about the questions they have while reading
7. Tell students how they select something to read, why they sometimes do not finish a text, and why they sometimes reread a text
8. Talk to students about who influences them as readers - who inspires them
9. Tell students about troubles they have had with reading
10. Tell students about the strategies they find helpful as readers
11. Tell students about what they are learning from reading
12. Find connections between their reading and their teaching of students
13. Teach passionately
