*I spent Thursday, June 21st in Chicago at the first "summit" of the summer. It was a day of learning, reflection, and of course lots of great conversations. Here are my top five personal moments...
Moment #ONE - Listening to Malcolm Mitchell on his journey from a nonreader to an author.
Moment #TWO - Listening to Franki Sibberson about her first mini-lesson with students called "100 Things About Me as a Reader".
Moment #THREE - Learning from Franki Sibberson about the structure of her mini-lessons and how to view them as "invitations" and how it it not about the actual mini-lesson,
but our lives as readers.
Moment #FOUR - Learning from Jess Lifshitz lead and discuss how she takes her students on a journey of self-discovery and making positive changes on their world. The work we do in the classroom can be very different from the world outside the classroom.
Moment #FIVE - Closing out the day with Dav Pilkey who shared his reading journey from a small child who was discouraged as a reader until his mother took control and lead him on a positive journey of finding true joy in the act of reading.
