Abstract | The author and Karin Perry conducted surveys with educators for the past five years asking them about their reading habits and preferences. To date, they have more than 2500 responses. They paint a picture that all is not well on the teacher front. This article presents a few observations from the data. On average, educators report reading one to four books a month. More than 50% indicate they do not read graphic novels nor do they "read with their ears" using audiobooks. Most of the respondents get their recommendations from blogs and websites. Finally, 90% prefer fiction over nonfiction. The author offers suggestions on how to go about dealing with the shortcomings seen in this survey and in schools, departments, and professional organization. (ERIC). |
