As a well-known advocate for promoting wider reading and reading engagement among all children--and founder of a reading program for foster children--Pam Allyn knows that struggling readers often face any printed text with fear and confusion, like Max in the book Where the Wild Things Are. She argues that teachers need to actively create a nonjudgmental, joyful climate around reading to help vulnerable readers learn to find pleasure in print and then gradually strengthen their skills. Allyn gives her Top Ten list of actions that teachers can take to create such a climate: (1) don't judge the reader; (2) offer a range of materials; (3) provide time for dialogue; (4) give readers a tool kit; (5) let readers read at their comfort level: (6) dive deep; (7) value browsing and rereading; (8) build stamina; (9) teach students to curate their reading lives; and (10) remember that joy in reading matters.
