Understanding the why of actions and behaviors is so important when working with people. Building connections is an essential aspect of educating students because we need them to be comfortable with us enough to come to us with struggles or allow us to help when we identify one of their struggles. I, too, strive to demonstrate a love for reading and make reading experiences fun for students engaging with me. I have also used audiobooks to aid students in reading. I do not always have time to sit down and read a book when the urge strikes, but I can play the audiobook while completing other tasks. We can integrate digital tools to interact with the books, either for reading books with features like a one-touch dictionary, or students can complete different activities that require knowledge of the book, digital literacy, and collaboration. Students can work together to create a new, digital book cover and then give explanations to justify their creative decisions.
