5 Tips for Helping a Student Find the Right Book

I continue to find articles and ideas to help teachers to reach out to students to develop a love of reading just like they love their favorite food, and to help students make reading a part of their daily lives just like eating, brushing teeth or sleeping.  The linked article offers 5 tips for helping students find the right book to read. I notice that one reference for this article is The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller.  I am currently reading her second book titled, Reading in the Wild. Another reference for this article is Kelly Gallagher's Reading Reasons. This book is a series of mini-lessons aimed to motivate middle school and high school students to read.  It explains "real world" reasons why students should be readers.
