Challenge your students to speak to those veterans in their lives.  They have amazing stories of bravery and service to our country.  If we don’t ask, we will never hear their incredible stories.

A way I have found success with my students is through different end of book activities and projects.  I want to give my students the opportunity to share and reflect on their reading, while giving them a purpose.

If you have ever wondered if implementing reading buddies is a wise use of instructional time and something you should work into your already overloaded schedule, the answer is ABSOLUTELY!
