Thanks to SLMC Kenny Foster for sharing this blog post! I just love this idea! Way to #TrendThePositive! This year at West, I have decided to start a new weekly feature called “Reading With Dragons.” The goal of this program is to keep reading at the forefront of our school. The high school reading culture can be a tough one, but I am reaching out to our faculty, staff, and students to highlight a favorite book, a favorite genre, or a title they might be currently reading. We are promoting this through our social media outlets, our daily publication, our daily announcements, and as a bulletin board in our media center. We are looking to promote our school population as a community of readers. I am stressing to everyone who is participating that it doesn’t matter what the level of the book is. One of my all-time favorites is: This is the first book I ever bought at a book fair in elementary school. Yes, it was totally the 1970’s, but it was and still is great! If a book can make a lasting memory for a first grader in 1974, is there anything a great book can’t do? Our first feature is our teacher of the year, Coach Tedder:

I love this idea, Kenny!! I can see incorporating this at any age. My elementary students would LOVE seeing their teachers or the administrators, office staff, custodians, lunch ladies, etc. sharing their favorite books! Thanks for sharing!
