How can schools create enthusiasm for reading and build on that momentum to make reading part of everyday school life?
Join school and district leaders from across the country for a conversation about how to help more students find books they love, make time for reading, and feel part of a reading community. This panel will explore four foundations of a strong reading culture: opportunity, choice, community, and celebration.
Panelists will share experiences from their own school and district settings, including where they started, what gained traction, and what needed adjustment. Together, we’ll explore ways to support student choice, build shared ownership among educators and librarians, celebrate participation and progress, and reach students who may not yet see themselves as readers.
Attendees will leave with practical ideas, the Reading Culture 101 Guide, and achievable next steps to bring back to their school or district.
In this edWebinar, participants will:
- Discover four foundations of a strong reading culture.
- Assess strengths and opportunities in their schools.
- Explore strategies to boost and sustain engagement.
- Identify one action to take in the next 30 days.
