We have 20 minutes of sustained silent reading in our classes straight after lunch every day. Once I get sorted with things I'll need to bend my brain to ways to encourage boys to read.
It's a struggle every day to get them focused on reading something.
I'm the only person in the room who brings a book to read each day (currently a book of short stories by Louis L'Amour), the boys have a pile of books to choose from each day and a few stick to the same book, but not many.
Like I say, when I've got my head around everything else I need to know about and prepare for, I'll raise it with the department and see if any of my colleagues have any bright ideas. I'll also read back in this blog for previous thoughts on the issue.
In the meantime, I'll continue my modelling act.
