Students direct their learning. Students choose what they want to read, which activities to complete and the way in which the activity will be completed. Students can read any genre and any author so long as it is deemed appropriate by the teacher.
The program provides many opportunities for students to share in creative ways what they are reading. The goal with these opportunities is that students inspire their peers to read a genre they had not previously read, or explore a series or author they were formerly unfamiliar with. Peer recommendations can be very powerful and this program gives students the knowledge, skills and tools to ‘sell’ their favourite books in a way that is irresistible.
