Send us a Text Message.What do you do when you aren’t provided enough copies of books for every student? Unfortunately, this is a real problem that ELA teachers are facing. We know how incredibly frustrating and problematic this is for both teachers and students!  You want students to be engaged with the book. You know how important it is for students to read at home and dedicate class time to instruction. But access to limited materials is not allowing that to happen. Today we’re back with a lesson plan rescue! We’re sharing creative and productive ideas to overcome this issue so you can still accomplish what you need to in your classes. We’ll look at how providing multiple ways of reading the book, decentering the novel, and layering units on top of each other can help you work around the lack of book copies. RESOURCES MENTIONED:Check out Amanda's Digital Choice Boards HEREDown With the Reading Quiz - Our Signature FREE TrainingSHOW NOTES: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode199Sign up for the FREE Down With the Reading Quiz Masterclass: https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/masterclassSupport the Show.📚 BNT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESOURCES 👩‍💻 Join Happy Hour!
