As part of my English education program, I was tasked with presenting an IGNITE Talk with the subject of “This I Believe”. The purpose of the presentation was to present a topic of reflection to my cohort that I have developed during my time student teaching. Through my experiences with my literature classes—particularly my AP English Literature & Composition course—I landed on the subject of student reading. In this video, you will find me talking about the role of student reading in the classroom, some of the benefits of this practice, and potential solutions to increase student engagement.
