I love the suggestions for creating a love of reading. I would ask that a second part be created for students in the middle school level who are struggling readers. A great deal of these suggestions I can use for the middle school level students, but I would love to see more aimed at that level. We held a speed date with a book one time in our classes. But I would love to see other ideas.
