Over the summer, I had many teachers email me about their interest to implement reader’s workshop in their classroom. They had many great questions for me. I realized that the best way that I can help these teachers (and YOU!) is by creating a series of short videos all about how I get reading workshop up and going in my own second-grade classroom. Check out to see some of the videos I have already created!

Video #6: Treating Books with Respect
Teaching students how to treat classroom library books with respect can be a challenging task. Students will learn and understand the importance of treating books with respect from reading and discussing this unique social story. This is the perfect way to teach your students to not fold book pages, have clean hands when reading, and keep food or drinks away from books.
