I'm joining Jen and Kellee in their Monday Meme called "It's Monday! What are you reading?" Visit Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers to get some great book recommendations!
We went back to school this past week, and as I asked our students to think about reading resolutions, I thought about my own, too. I decided to set my reading goal as a quantity, but with a caveat: that I would enjoy every book to its fullest even if it meant not accomplishing my goal. I've been setting goals for my reading for a few years now, and each time I do, I learn something that helps me understand the process of reading. This, in turn, helps me when I confer with the young readers in our library.

Regarding my reading plans for the week, I'm noticing that I don't always read what I plan to read. Sometimes another title is best!
