I love how they used the books to help us see how to help the students dig deeper. I was very engaged and happen to love many of those books myself. I wasn’t ready to return to school yet, but this training added a little excitement for me to return. Thank you!

I feel like our district has gotten away from this type of creative learning in the regular classroom and it would be so beneficial to bring back. It would definately engage students more and spark their interest in reading. This course is a great reminder of things to do with books to make reading fun.
