This is the work. Not forcing reading or offering rewards, but building spaces where children feel safe enough, curious enough, and seen enough to want to read. Before we change students, we have to change the conditions we create around reading.

This week, I was invited to sit down with with Dr. Sarah Sansbury, Leah Gregory, and Janette Derucki for the Can’t Shelve This podcast (releasing February 10th). The invitation was simple: come talk about reading culture. About what we actually do in our classrooms and schools that either invites children into reading or quietly pushes them away. That kind of conversation is my favorite.
