S20-04062 CELEBRATING READING IN THE 21ST CENTURY Kristina Holzweiss - lieberrian@yahoo.com 3 Credits – Inservice - June 24 - August 15 I don’t believe in non-readers or reluctant readers; they are Yet-To-Be Readers! I believe in children who haven’t YET connected with reading. The connection could be finding the perfect book that speaks to them, regardless of topic and reading level. It can be a book in a different format such as an ebook or an audiobook. Or it could be sharing the reading experience with another person. Reading doesn’t have to be a solitary activity. It can be an event that brings people together. But how can reading books compete with screen time and video games? Come collaborate & share ideas to promote books & reading in our school learning communities through low tech and high tech means.
