      Just so impressed with what @Biblionasium is doing and our students LOVE it. So do parents. :)

      I spy 8 kids on Bibionasium. School doesn't start for 30 minutes. I hear them discussing picture books.

    • ajpeanut @ajpeanut

      Thanks @donalynbooks — in love with this site — Goodreads for kids with rdg logs, shared shelves & parent access!

    • Courtney Woods @CourtneyM_Woods

      @Biblionasium has been great motivator in my classroom — Ss make recommendations 2 e/o and “book talk” constantly

    • Kaitlyn Gentry @mk8g

      my boys are loving @biblionasium too! Reluctant reader, “guys, I recommended one book to everyone, ill do more tonight tho!”

    • Tiffany Cowley @TiffanyCowleyt

      @Biblionasium love this! Made my heart smile as I watched second graders more excited about reading!

    • Julie Mahaffey @Jmahaffey4

      After 4 weeks using @Biblionasium our 6th gd tcher reports the % of Ss logging reading minutes in higher then when Ss used paper log.

      I used Biblionasium this year and it was GREAT instead of paper logs.

    • Jenny Tonks @ancestoir

      I *finally* discovered a Goodreads-style site for kids, called @Biblionasium and my daughters already posting their favorite titles!

    • Sherry @LibraryFanatic

      I love @Biblionasium! 6th grade Students do too!

    • Laura Komos @LauraKomos

      Have you tried out @Biblionasium? My first graders love it! Goodreads/Shelfari type site specifically for kids.

      @Biblionasium Also, FINALLY got on Biblionasium with my students and they LOVED it! I've hardly even seen them so excited. It was to cool!

    everyday fun!

    Do you know? The best predictor of reading achievement is
    the amount of time students spend in
    independent reading (1)

    Reading 20 minutes a day =
    1.8 million words a year =
    1000 new vocabulary words

    So ... pledge to TAKE 20! Reading 20 minutes a day can make a big difference!

    • Read at home.
    • Read wherever you are. Look around - read things like posters, billboards, signs.
    • Make it fun - pick out books purely for pleasure reading.
