During the pandemic, independent reading has played a key role in keeping the learning faucet open for many students. So, which print and digital books are students reading the most at each grade level—and how can you maximize the impact of daily reading time?

View this edWebinar for the answers, based on the new 2022 edition of What Kids Are Reading—the world’s largest annual survey of K–12 students’ reading habits. You get tips for using this free report in your district, along with insights on:

• The three types of reading practice that students need at every grade level
• Strategies for motivating each type of reading practice
• Ways to guide students to the right texts for each type of practice—and common mistakes to avoid
• Administrators’ critical role in creating a strong culture of reading

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, reading directors and coaches, and interventionists.
