Bored nothing to do peter spier5/13/2023 Exploring the latest thinking about teaching reading matters to me, but it’s hard to find the motivation for reading such books when I would rather grab 30 more minutes of sleep after a hectic week. When research-laden professional development books arrive in the mail during October, they stack up on my office floor collecting dust until a holiday break. This time of year, however, when teaching demands most of my mental energy, I admit to doing what my students often do-selecting shorter books over long ones. Years spent studying reading research built up my stamina for dense books full of educational theory, too. Epic fantasy tomes, doorstop-weight textbooks, fat dictionaries-there is something about reading a hefty book that fills me with accomplishment.
