I Love to Read Month: February 2021
I Love to Read Month is a month-long celebration of all things reading. Not that anyone happening upon this web page needs an excuse to celebrate reading, but in February we turn it up to 11.
Joyful Reading in a New World
This is our theme for I Love to Read Month, 2021. It is a new world, with many challenges and many joys. Some of the positive aspects of reading in this new world of ours include the new literacies of the 21st Century that allow our students to read and comprehend, no matter the learning situation in which they are involved. Audiobooks, blogs, social media, even puzzles and games, serve to keep our students reading, reading, reading. Have your students experienced the new(er) book formats of graphic novels, or novels in verse? Have your students explored their most comfortable spaces to read in the classroom, at home or outside? These amazing book forms and the varying spaces each of us can create are sure to grab even the most disinterested reader. Our hope is that the joy of reading is something they will all discover and keep throughout their lifetimes. We encourage students, their families and community members to share the books that bring them joy.
February also contains the 2nd Annual I Read Canadian Day, celebrated on February 17. Please see the official website for details.
