Read for at least twenty to thirty minutes.
When you are done, think about what you have read.
Describe a setting from your reading. Remember, the setting includes not just where a scene or story takes place, but when—in a big sense the time period, in a more intimate sense the time of day it takes place, and the mood of the setting.
Write down or discuss your responses. It’s fun to get peek into each other’s reading.

I am an author and retired teacher/librarian who loves to read, write, and encourage others.
I am a passionate journaler and a writer of poetry, folktale retellings, and folkloric/historical fantasy novels for both middle grade readers and adults. My mission is to write tales of magic and heart, and to encourage readers to wonder, marvel, and follow their dreams.
Although an avid reader of the fantasy genre--for all ages, I also love historical fiction, and my latest favorite is historical mystery, although I could never imagine trying to write one!
Here at Literate Lives, I blog about many aspects of pursuing a literate lifestyle in our high-speed world. I hope to be of help to parents, teachers, and writers (even those who write solely for themselves) in the practice and nurturing of a reading/writing lifestyle in both home and school. My greatest reward would be for my readers to see me as a friend.
