I've not been writing as often lately due to several significant life changes, but you've managed to keep things going a bit here and that's awesome to see. I'm with you in terms of that percentage: about 90% seem to honestly be into the reading we do each week. We're down to reading 2 days a week now, but we read longer on those days (juniors up to 25 and sophomores up to 15-20 minutes at a time). More specific details and <a href="http://www.toddseal.com/teaching/english2/animalfarm/" rel="nofollow">peeks into my classroom</a> to come! Atl, I really thank you for your contributions.

I'm new to your blog, but I'm finding your posts refreshing because you're offering specific ideas and details that let us peek into your classroom. Thanks! I also require my students to read the first 10 minutes of class and I read with them. I have to admit that some of them "fake read" and won't dig into their reading unless I give them an assignment, but I think 90% of them use the time and enjoy it.
