Tip #27: Walk the Talk
Kitty Felde
We turn again to fifth grade teacher Jose Rodriguez for another reading tip. Jose teaches fifth grade at the Ambassador School of Global Education in Los Angeles.
For more reluctant readers, Jose says he has a "quick chat" with his students about what they are reading.
Jose also carves out time inside the classroom for students - and Jose himself - to pick up a book. "It's very important to walk the talk." he says.
Jose constantly refers to the books he is reading...and provides visual evidence that he actually has his nose in a book. His tip: let the kids see you reading.
