“I had this awesome moment with my student where we were trying out a new genre, we were reading a book about space. All of a sudden, he took his headphones off and asked his mom if he could get a telescope for his birthday. It was so cool to see how excited he was. A couple of weeks later, I got an update on his birthday and he got his telescope! That was such a stand out moment for me because we landed on a topic that he was so excited to read about. We read about space for weeks after that. He had such a love of information and we were able to connect that through reading”
