My Path

Donalyn Miller

“The single factor most strongly associated with reading achievement- more than socioeconomic status or any instructional approach- is independent reading.” – Steven Krashen, The Power of Reading

Independent Reading

"Regular reading not only boosts the likelihood of an individual’s academic and economic success—facts that are not especially surprising—but it also seems to awaken a person’s social and civic sense.” – “To Read or Not to Read”- NEA 2007

Reading in the real world

Activities: Scrapbooking, gardening, cooking, art, decorating, working out

My marathon

If the act of reading is the most important for future success, then my goal is to create students who genuinely want to read; otherwise, they might fall off the wagon down the road.

Strengthen vocabulary

Build confidence with struggling readers (pictures help)

Blogging

What Drives us?

• Autonomy - we all long to be autonomous - to have control over our lives and destiny. To the extent that we don't have autonomy we feel something missing.

• Mastery. We need to learn to master the tasks we are undertaking.

• Purpose. We need to "buy in" to why we are doing things. There needs to be a reason.
