Happy day, friends!
Today I am joining with several dozen bloggers to invite you to an awesome summer book study showcasing Donalyn Miller’s Reading in the Wild!
An amazing reader and teacher, Miller shares her experiences in middle grades classrooms and how she has fostered a love of reading in her students in The Book Whisperer. Her classroom is INSPIRING! The book is so down-to-earth, a fast read, and filled with simple (but powerful) ways to create a culture of reading in your classroom. In The Book Whisperer, Millers leaves you with her frustration – students leaving her classroom loving reading but faced with future teachers that do not share Donalyn’s enthusiasm for reading. Gradually, her students leave the practice of daily, just-because reading.
Here enters, Donalyn’s second book, Reading in the Wild. This books acts as a follow-up to the first and discusses how to foster a love of reading that is lifelong and sustainable…even when a passionate teacher is not present. As a 5th grade teacher, this is powerful to me. How do I structure reading and sharing opportunities that set the foundation for life-long reading? Reading in the Wild address this question! (although it helps to have teh background of The Book Whisper, you don’t have to have read it to read Reading in the Wild!)
I would love for you to join us! You can click here or the image below to grab your copy.

Yay! So glad you'll be joining. It's one of my favorite books! ๐
I'm looking forward to reading this over the summer. I have my students do a 25 book challenge through the year – with my main goal of getting them to have a love of reading. I can't wait to get inspired from this book!

Are We There Yet?
I'm in! As curriculum director for our school, I got a copy of her first book for our language arts teachers grades 1-8 through our book fair two years ago. Had a major impact on our teachers. ๐
Can't wait to read this one and be part of our study!
Sooooo…I am friends with Donalyn on FB and Twitter. I tagged her in my status to my blog post and kindly asked if she might be able to jump in during our discussions. She has already given the thumbs up and asked me how she could help. Yahoo! Let me know what I should tell/ask her and I will be more than willing to pass on the information. I also just posted the logo on my Instagram. ๐
Eeekkkk!!!!!! I'm emailing you right now! ๐
I would love to join! I'm hosting a book study as well! If you have read or are going to read Teach Like a Pirate join us! The linky parties will be hosted on Sundays, starting June 8.

Was planning on reading this book this summer!! Would love to have others' insight along the way!!
I loved the Book Whisperer so I was very excited to see she has another book. It would be a lot of fun to have people to talk with about the book as I read.
So excited to partake in this book study with other educators. Thank you for this opportunity! Just ordered my book today.
I want to do this! Have the book but haven't read it yet! Is it too late to join?
YES! I LOVED LOVED LOVED Book Whisperer. Changed my way of thinking big time. I was just about to start this one. I've had it sitting in my bedroom because I had it on my summer list to start reading. I can tell you that the first book made our test reading scores soar…..this past year every single of of my ela kids passed our rigorous, staar test! ๐ but not only that, my kids LOVE reading and the parents were thrilled! So, Ive never done this online, but I'll figure it out!
I just ordered both of her books! I'm in!
