In Reading Wellness, Jan Burkins and Kim Yaris remind you why you became a teacher in the first place. They want children and teachers to thrive as readers and to feel the deep satisfaction that comes with meaningful encounters with texts. Built around a framework of four intentions - alignment, balance, sustainability, and joy - Reading Wellness offers teachers a series of lessons that help children read closely and carefully while still honouring their interests, passions, and agency as readers. The lessons here, which have been field-tested in grades 1-5, are interconnected and empower classroom communities, are filled with anecdotes and insights, and are practical, sustainable, and frequently joyful.
