I have always been a reader but I was never a proud reader in my classroom until a year ago. I realized then that to inspire deep passion in my readers I had to share my own. I realized then that to inspire my students to keep reaching for books I had to show my own hunger for more. Now I am reader because I know it matters. I am reader because it teaches me more.
I am a reader because I can hand books to students knowing that they will love them.
I am a reader because I need to get lost in books as much as my students do.
I am a reader because I want to live a thousand lives and travel to a million places.
I am a reader because my life would be gray without all of my books.
I am a reader because I cannot pretend that reading is important, I have to live it.
I am a reader because it allows me to connect with any child I meet.
I am a reader because of the memories it creates.
I am a reader because of the moments I share with others.
I am a reader because my students need me to be.
I am a reader because my soul requires it.
Are you a reader? Why?
Yes. I am a reader. 🙂
Yes, I am a reader. Finding books for my middle schoolers has become a passion. I am a proud reader.
