One way to teach a love for reading writing is by example but I don’t mean using adults as the example. How about peers? Adora Svitak loves reading and writing. She already has one book published and has more in the works. She reads a lot too. Her favorite book is The Century for Young People by Peter Jennings.
Take a look around her web site http://www.adorasvitak.com/
Her blog is also something to share with your students http://www.adorasvitak.com/Blogger.html
Oh I almost forgot Adora is 9 years old.
Now here comes the really great part. You and your students can meet Adora through one of the Discovery Connects Webinars. It is planned for December 5th at 11:00AM EST.
