Deep Reading
Reading in the Wild: Learning from Lifelong Readers
Donalyn Miller
“The single factor most strongly
associated with reading achievement
—more than socioeconomic status or
any instructional approach—is
independent reading.”
— Stephen Krashen, The Power of
Reading
“Reading books is the only out-of-school
activity for 16-year-olds that is linked to
getting a managerial or professional job
in later life.”
—University of Oxford, 2011
“Regular reading not only boosts the
likelihood of an individual's academic
and economic success -- facts that are
not especially surprising -- but it also
seems to awaken a person's social and
civic sense.”
— “To Read or Not to Read,” NEA, 2007
Think about an avid reader who you
know.
What characteristics does this person
possess that show he/she is a reader?
Wild Readers…
dedicate time for reading
“ If you have never said, ‘Excuse
me’ to a parking meter or bashed
your shins on a fireplug, you are
probably wasting too much valuable
reading time.”
~ Sherri Chasin Calvo
Provide independent reading time in
class.
Read in the "edges."

She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida - the pink ones, not the white ones - except that she was standing on both of them, not just one of them, like those birds, the pink ones, and she wasn't wearing pink, but I knew right away that she was trouble, which those birds usually aren't.
Towards the dragon's lair the fellowship marched -- a noble human prince, a fair elf, a surly dwarf, and a disheveled copyright attorney who was frantically trying to find a way to differentiate this story from "Lord of the Rings."
On a fine summer morning during the days of the Puritans, the prison door in the small New England town of B----n opened to release a convicted adulteress, the Scarlet Letter A embroidered on her dress, along with the Scarlet Letters B through J, a veritable McGuffey's Reader of Scarlet Letters, one for each little tyke waiting for her at the gate.

share books and reading with
other readers
“Children read more when they see
other people reading.”
--Stephen Krashen (2009)
“Reading Teacher (RT): a teacher
who reads and a reader who
teaches”
Commeyras, Bisplinghoff and
Olson (2003)
56% of unenthusiastic readers did not
have a teacher who shared a love of
reading, while 64% of enthusiastic
readers did have such a teacher.
--Nathanson, Pruslow and Levitt
(2008)
Teachers who regularly read for
pleasure are more likely to use
recommended literacy
practices in their classrooms than
those teachers who do not engage in
pleasure reading.
They are more likely
to recognize that reading is a social
activity and to provide opportunity for
students to
talk about their reading.
Morrison, Jacobs, and Swinyard
(1999); McKool & Gespass (2009)
