What if summer reading didn’t have to feel like a chore for students or teachers?In part two of our Summer Reading Rescue series, I’m continuing the conversation about how we can reimagine summer reading programs to actually work, and even bring joy back to reading. We know the summer slide is real, and in part one, I laid the groundwork by talking about the research and the importance of having a clear PURPOSE behind your program. Today, we’re diving into the next two pillars: CHOICE and INTERACTION.I’m sharing practical ways to give students ownership over what and how they read—think audiobooks, podcasts, themed book lists, and even reading challenges that feel more like games than assignments. Plus, we’ll explore how to build community around reading with virtual book clubs, fun incentives, and social connection that lasts beyond the summer.If you're ready to bring your summer reading program back to life, grab the resources at<a href='http://bravenewteaching.com/summerreading'> bravenewteaching.com/summerreading</a> and join the movement! 🥳Resources:<ul><li><a href='https://shop.mudandinkteaching.org/summer-reading-rescue-let-s-revive-your-program-together'>Watch the video version of this episode</a></li><li><a href='https://shop.mudandinkteaching.org/thefirst10days'>The First Ten Days of School:  Amanda’s Walkthrough</a></li><li><a href='http://bookclubs.com'>Bookclubs.com</a></li><li><a href='https://www.goodreads.com/'>Goodreads</a></li><li><a href='https://www.thestorygraph.com/'>StoryGraph</a></li><li><a href='https://www.litsee.com/'>Litsee</a></li><li><a href='https://fable.co/'>Fable</a></li><li><a href='https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode252'>Episode 252, Summer Reading Rescue - Part 1</a></li><li><a href='https://www.canva.com/'>Canva - make your own reading gameboard!</a></li></ul>SHOW NOTES: <a href='https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode253'>https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode253</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2131293/open_sms">"Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"</a>🤓📚 Download Flat Shakespeare: <a href="https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/flatshakespeare">https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/flatshakespeare</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131293/supporters/new">Support the show</a>📚 BNT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESOURCES 👩‍💻 <ul> <li><a href='https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/happyhour'>Join Happy Hour!</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.curriculumrehab.com/course'>Curriculum Rehab</a></li> <li><a href='https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/masterclass'>Down with the Reading Quiz</a></li> <li><a href='https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/'>Shop the BNT Resource Library</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/bravenewteaching/'>Connect with us on Instagram @bravenewteaching</a></li> <li>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@TheCaffeinatedClassroom'>YouTube Channel</a> </li> </ul>
