The 💯💯💯rule means setting the LOFTY goal that ALL students read ALL the text ALL the times it’s assigned.![]()

👏 Then start thinking of your reading time in percentages. How many of your students read all the text today?![]()
![]()
👏 Notice what stands in the way of the lofty goal. What student skills, class structures, behaviors, etc. need to be modified?![]()
![]()
👏Teach to fill those holes. Broaden the conversation to peers and leaders.![]()
