About this listen

As a life-long reader, English teacher Dan Tricarico wanted to bring the love of reading to his high school students, but the constant, irresistible presence of digital media made for tough competition. Rather than seeking out a high-tech solution, he brought back simplicity in the form of daily silent reading, and to his surprise, most of his students really took to it. In this episode, he shares his experience in the hopes that more teachers will resurrect this classic practice in their own classrooms.

Thanks to Alpaca and the School Me Podcast for sponsoring this episode.
