This chapter is dedicated to what Layne refers to as “My Modeling Career.” He offers several options regarding how all adults in the building can model what they are personally reading as well as suggestions on how teachers can incorporate a “reading” time in the classroom where everyone, students and adults alike, take time out to read. Consider ways in which you might model the act of reading to students you come in contact with. What is an idea you are inspired to try or have tried?
One statement from chapter five that really stood out to me…”I truly subscribe to the belief that everyone working in a school is someone’s hero; everyone is the right person and, in some cases, the only person to reach some kid with a book” (pg.72).
You may never know whose hero you are!
