The work of reading requires fuel. In classrooms where phonics, fluency, and foundational skills take center stage, we sometimes forget that motivation is the fuel that keeps readers moving forward. In this session, we’ll  explore how identity, joy, and community work in concert to power literacy growth. Most importantly, we’ll explore how librarians can nurture reading identities that thrive alongside explicit skill instruction. Participants will leave with strategies to help every learner see themselves as a reader!
