A quick thread as I look through survey results from 50 high school freshmen. #ProjectLITchat
14 out of 50 students reported they read 0 books last year. 10 said 1, and another 4 said 2.
35 out of 50 students said they rarely or never read outside of school? Why? TIME and ACCESS.

Students do not need to read The Scarlet Letter (or any other “classic” text) to become successful readers & writers. Crazy how many adults think they do. #ProjectLITchat
Just b/c it’s easier and cheaper and “safer” to run back the same books and lessons and units year after year doesn’t mean it’s right. Especially when it’s not working for a lot of our students and teachers.
And SMH at the people who are pushing for more “complex” texts while simultaneously dismissing the need for more culturally relevant texts.
