Emily Bridgham Middle School Teacher The American School of The Hague by Meghan O'Neill I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with 13-year educator, Emily Bridgham, from The American School of The Hague. Traveling all over the globe and teaching in a variety of different classroom settings, Emily has learned a tremendous amount from her teaching experience and continues to offer educators innovative ways of approaching literature and teaching reading. To read about how Emily Bridgham motivated her middle school students to become engaged and enthusiastic readers, click here. The Pleasure Principle: Getting children to love reading Reading workshops are a great way to inspire students to become fully immersed in the books they read. In these lessons, students and teachers can talk about authors, genres, have read alouds, and discuss students' favorite components of reading. Reading is a reward in itself, which students can learn to truly love. See the full article here. Digital Storytelling Bring technology and multimedia learning to your classroom!
