Summer Reading Suggestions

Taking the Summer to Read and Write Ourselves into Better Readers and Writers: School may be out, but now’s not the time for students to stop learning. As NCTE’s Reading Commission Guideline "On Reading, Learning to Read, and Effective Literacy Instruction" points out, learning to read is a lifelong process, and, of course, the more we read, the better readers we become. This goes for writing as well. NCTE’s "Beliefs on the Teaching of Writing" give us principles for teaching the “increasingly multifaceted activity” of writing. Summer is a perfect time for reading and writing for personal pleasure—and learning, too.
