Older students – even those who were excited by reading when younger – are often distracted by "other things" or find reading more of a challenge as they are faced with reading more complex texts for deeper meaning. This toolkit contains webinars that discuss a variety of digital tools, websites, and strategies for enhancing literacy and enticing your secondary students to read. In addition to discovering ways to help your students read and analyze complex texts, you’ll find out how to create collaborative, student-centered vocabulary lessons. Discover the role of literature in Common Core Standards, and learn how to use historical fiction to bring American History to life for middle school students. If you make use of mobile technologies, you will find out how to use mobile apps to support struggling readers, entice reluctant readers, and get your students excited about reading.
