With the shift to on-line zoom lessons we have drifted away from those vital English lessons when we just quietly read books for a period of time.

This would usually involve me modeling behaviour while the rest of the class settled into comfortable spaces to read. 

This lack of reading opportunities would be tragic if it were to continue. There is so much value in sustained silent reading - even for older students.

How do we get it back?
