Read Just Read It: Unlocking the Magic of Independent Reading in Middle and High School Classrooms (Corwin Literacy) By Jarred Amato Full Books Online in HD Quality

How can educators nurture and inspire a generation of readers in today's algorithmic age? Despite the challenges (and there are many), Jarred Amato reminds us that it is still possible – and essential. In Just Read It, Dr. Amato brings you into his classroom and shows how to engage and empower adolescent readers and writers from the first day of the year to the last. At the heart of the book is the Read and WRAP framework – dedicating consistent time for students to read independently (a combination of self-selected or whole-class reads) and WRAP (write, reflect, analyze, and participate).

Dr. Amato, an accomplished middle and high school English teacher and founder of Project LIT Community, recognizes that independent reading is more than just "drop everything and read" – students deserve opportunities to engage in meaningful writing, reflection, conversation, and community-building. Many teachers have pushed aside independent reading in the time crunch to teach all the content and skills in the curriculum — or because of pressure to stay true to a traditional literary canon. Instead of looking at it as either/or, Just Read It shows teachers how to make independent reading "yes, and."

With thoughtful, student-centered structures and strategies to sustain independent reading success, this book:
-Provides detailed insights on transforming the principles of access, choice, time, and community into actions
-Shows how to support student interests and varied reading levels
-Offers ready-to-go activities to initiate Read and WRAP routines at the start of the school year, keep momentum going, and finish the year strong to ensure continued literacy growth
-Demonstrates how to leverage student feedback to fine-tune the Read and WRAP routines
-Discusses various options for incorporating independent and whole-class novels into the curriculum
-Offers a game plan to "level up" IR, including how to launch and lead a Project LIT chapter

We live in a time when choosing what we read is critically important, and this book offers all the tools teachers need to guide students along the path to true literacy. Just Read It is perfect for anyone who believes in the power of books to change students’ lives and nurture a lifelong love for reading.
