[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@KZombo @jmattmiller Loved that book!!! Hope you bring back some great ideas

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

Good night friends-love when we chat about reading! #2ndchat

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

Read to self time and choice #2ndchat

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@kosienm Great idea-just chat! Simple but powerful

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@FirstAtBat I use the global read aloud books yearly-the list is getting pretty big, add in the sequels takes up most of the year 😀

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

Balance between reading on level, then allowing them to just listen to high interest books, fun things in guided reading and time- #2ndchat

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@kosienm @Flipgrid Same here-I did last yr. switching grades this year has me all backwards and upside down

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

A3 Choice is huge- it’s fun to watch them negotiate “I’ll give this one to you when I’m done” they also love to re read the read alouds #2ndchat

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

A2 struggling readers have a hard time finding the joy-it is magical when they do! My favorite part of teaching#2ndchat

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@lolipoplisa28 I am always adding to my class library- esp to try and hook my readers

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@FlowersClass2nd @kosienm @LibbyApp I use my Libby app mostly now

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@kosienm I joined a non fiction book club and since that isn’t my favorite genre I had to move to audio while I’m driving to work. Enjoy the books but just can’t do the real reading for those.

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]

@kosienm A1. I love fiction- mostly suspense and romance for when I need something quick #2ndchat

[Amy Laidlaw @allaidlaw]
