A while back, I read Donalyn Miller’s READING IN THE WILD: The Book Whisperer’s Keys To Cultivating Lifelong Reading Habits. I enjoyed it so much that I just bought THE BOOK WHISPERER. The books are geared toward educators, but there is so much great info and inspiration for those who help create books for young people. I’m going to be gradually incorporating some of Donalyn’s suggestions into activity sheets I create for my FOR THE LOVE OF READING page as well as bonus material for my book projects.
You can find more info about Donalyn Miller and her books at Bookwhisperer.com, and you can follow her on Twitter at @donalynbooks.
