[CASL-L] Reading question

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Dear Lisa,

I'm sure there are some wonderful programs out there for this type of
activity. I know some teachers use Epic in my school, for example. During
my Library & Information Literacy (LIL) classes (K-3, especially), though,
I prefer to enjoy stories *together* using a document camera. That's
precious time that we have. I, personally, have moved away from individual
screen time on our iPads and spend much more time enjoying stories that tie
into the curriculum together as a class. Make sense? Maybe this is a good
topic for the CASL Un-Conference coming up? One of my favorite PD reads of
last summer was Mandy Ellis' *Lead with Literacy: A Pirate's Guide to
Developing a Culture of Readers. *At this point, I'm thinking that doing
everything we (librarians) can do as possible to "develop a culture of
readers" is essential.

Best,
~Valerie
