Lead Gcisd Podcast

Dr. Suzanne Newell & Evan Payne are on the podcast to talk about all things book challenge. As you may know, GCISD has issued an ambitious challenge this year to all K-12th grade students. From the work of Penny Kittle & Donalyn Miller, we are challenging them to read 25 books independently (or 100 picture books for younger readers) this year from a variety of genres and authors. The primary goal of this challenge is to promote the love of reading. We believe that once students get a taste of the joy reading can bring, 25 books (or 100) will only be the beginning of their lifelong journey as a reader.
