This was such a great, info-packed webinar. Definitely make time to watch it (once, maybe twice!) before the replay expires.

I've also blogged a couple of times about my beloved "pleasure reading award," my most memorable fifth grade achievement, and the genius of my teacher, Mr. Snook. You can find the posts here: www.dawnprochovnic.com/search?q=mr.... (Good luck with your fancy panel!)

I know they are popular, but in my experience, reading logs soon become a chore. My biggest tip is to flip the script on reading as a task/chore and frame it instead as a treat. "Let's clean up, THEN we can read. If we can clean up in 5 minutes, we can fit in an extra book/chapter!"

(For context, this is a book I started working on while watching my youngest child play at the local children's museum ... said child graduated from COLLEGE last year ; )
