4.  Edge time (Donalyn
Miller)
 Priority time
 Class time

5.  Reading on the fringes
o Appointments
o Bathroom books
o Car
o Purse or bookbag
o Phone books
• eBooks and audiobooks (more later about these)

6.  If it is not a priority for us, how can we expect it
to be a priority for them?
 Take a moment to jot down one time you will set
aside daily (just 5 minutes) to read.
 Make this commitment real by adding it to your
calendar.

8.  Picture books
 Graphic novels
 Quick reads
 Poem or story a day

16. “Once upon a time there were three dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur,
Mama Dinosaur, and some other Dinosaur who happened to be
visiting from Norway.”

17. –
 Setting
 Main characters
 Motif
 Archetype
 And…it’s going to be
funny!
Plus it addresses this
CCSS (anchor standard):
Write narratives to develop
real or imagined
experiences or events
using effective technique,
well-chosen details,
and well-structured event
sequences

18.  infer the implicit theme of a work of fiction, distinguishing
theme from the topic;
 analyze the function of stylistic elements (e.g., magic
helper, rule of three) in traditional and classical literature
from various cultures;
 write imaginative stories that include:
o (i) a clearly defined focus, plot, and point of view;
o (ii) a specific, believable setting created through the use of
sensory details; and
o (iii) dialogue that develops the story (mentor texts)

23.  create multi-paragraph essays
to convey information about a
topic that:
 (i) present effective
introductions and concluding
paragraphs;
 (ii) guide and inform the
reader's understanding of key
ideas and evidence;
 (iii) include specific facts,
details, and examples in an
appropriately organized
structure; and
 (iv) use a variety of sentence
structures and transitions to
link paragraphs;

24.  Students understand, make
inferences and draw
conclusions about how an
author's sensory language
creates imagery in literary
text and provide evidence
from text to support their
understanding.
 Students are expected to
explain how authors create
meaning through stylistic
elements and figurative
language emphasizing the
use of personification,
hyperbole, and refrains.

26.  (A) summarize the main ideas
and supporting details in text,
demonstrating an understanding
that a summary does not include
opinions;
 (B) explain whether facts included
in an argument are used for or
against an issue;
 (C) explain how different
organizational patterns (e.g.,
proposition-and-support, problem-
and-solution) develop the main
idea and the author's viewpoint;
and
 (D) synthesize and make logical
connections between ideas within
a text and across two or three
texts representing similar or
different genres.

27.  How could this
collection of poems
be used in a lesson
on informational text?
 How could it be used
as a Mentor Text?
 What other use might
it have?

34.  (A) analyze linear plot developments (e.g., conflict,
rising action, falling action, resolution, subplots) to
determine whether and how conflicts are resolved;
 (B) analyze how the central characters' qualities
influence the theme of a fictional work and resolution of
the central conflict; and
 (C) analyze different forms of point of view, including
limited versus omniscient, subjective versus objective.

Dust off some neglected books

142.  Fighting censorship

146.  Resources
 Recommendations

158.  1. Someone with the heart of a reader is already a reader, enjoys reading,
and turns to reading on a regular basis as an activity they prefer.
2. Someone with the heart of a reader does not need extrinsic motivation.
No points, pizza, or other incentives are needed.
3. Someone with the heart of a reader tends to have friends who have
reader hearts, too. They enjoy taking about books they have read,
comparing notes.
4. Someone with the heart of a reader reads up and down and sideways.
Sometimes they turn to books that are easy reads, and occasionally they
challenge themselves, too. While they have comfort books, they read
widely as well.
5. Someone with the heart of a reader recognizes that books entertain,
inform, provoke, and touch them deep in those hearts. They know books
can elicit laughter, tears, rage, and the full range of emotions.
