This week’s conversation is such a treat! I am thrilled that you get to meet fifth-grade teacher and author of Game Changer: Book Access for All— Colby Sharp. He shares his love of using picture books in his class and how he manages his literacy lessons throughout the day with a focus on independent reading. We have some honest conversations about reading “ups and downs” and Colby shares some great insights about inspiring reading in classrooms and keeping book collections relevant to students. I especially appreciated the questions he asked me, as well. Our mutual love for books shines through as there are many, many book recommendations linked below with Amazing affiliate links for purchase. Be sure to follow Colby Sharp on all social media platforms and check out his weekly YouTube Kid Lit Book Mail— you won’t regret it!
