As a teacher you have a superpower! Your power of suggestion can influence learners.
If I take a book and simply move it to a table somewhere in the room, students will decide to read it. STUDENT: Hey, these books are about today's Social Studies lesson! I didn't know you had these. Can I read them?
If I put it on the front ledge and spotlight it, they will read it. STUDENT: OMG these books are what you talked about in SEL! We should read them.
If I stick a big book in a smaller basket, they are intrigued and will pick it up. STUDENT: Did you put this book like this? Can I read it?
If I stand picture books in the midst of chapter books, they will pick them up. STUDENT to STUDENT: We should read these books because the girls look like friends!
