Colby Sharp: Building and Fostering a Reading Community
Colby Sharp loves all things books. When he’s not reading with his third graders, he might be hosting book-related Twitter chats, reviewing titles on his website (mrcolbysharp.com), or blogging at the Nerdy Book Club, which Sharp cofounded with Donalyn Miller and two other educators. Colby facilitates Nerd Camp, a summer Edcamp PD conference with a literacy twist.
Kim Clark and Kim Troost: Make Your Book Clubs A Blast!
Kim Clark, Media Specialist, and Kim Troost, Classroom Teacher, will talk about practical ideas for launching your book clubs in a way that sparks the interest of every reader. Help children and teens achieve new heights and explore a universe of reading with strategies that you can apply to multiple titles and situations.
