Reading isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. 🌈

YOU’RE READING TO A TOUGH CROWD.

Some students devour the story, while others do just about anything else.

  • Half the class zones out when you open a book.
  • Engaging students in reading is tough. Getting them to think deeper about reading is a whole other battle.
  • Finding stories that support your standards is time-consuming.
  • Extension activities take a long time to plan and prepare.

Then, you find The Confetti Bookshelf Vault! 🎊

YOU WANT TO CREATE LIFELONG READERS.

BUT YOU’RE NOT SURE HOW.

You’ve tried all the popular strategies to inspire a love of reading —You’ve tried all the popular strategies to inspire a love of reading —

  • Googling book lists for upper elementary students online
  • Taking students to the library to pick out their own book
  • Buying comic books and graphic novels for your class library
  • Reading popular chapter books in class
  • Doing book talks, First Chapter Fridays, and reading challenges

But not much has changed. Your struggling readers are still struggling. And you’re stressed over finding time for these strategies. Not to mention, you feel lost on how to turn these moments into meaningful reading experiences.

I WANT THIS!

READING HAS SOME SERIOUS COMPETITION.

It feels hard to engage students in reading because you’re fighting a bigger battle. Video games, YouTube, and social media have trained students’ brains to expect constant stimulation.

Sitting down with a book can’t compete with that… unless you have the right tools.

The Confetti Bookshelf Vault is filled with doable, low-lift reading resources that build stamina and engage even the most reluctant readers. The resources inside make it easy to slip meaningful activities into your daily routine.
