I read for at least a half hour each day during the school day. It took me many, many years to feel comfortable enough to even try it. I would guiltily read the journals for book reviews, making sure that people would know that they were work related magazines. I decided that reading during the day when students might walk in on me was a great example of modeling. The teachers in my building wholeheartedly support my habit as it makes me much better informed, which ends up benefitting them. Yes, I still read at home, listen to books in the car, but also at work. Once when I was caught reading by the curriculum director, I felt I needed to explain myself. She looked at me as if I was crazy and replied that it was part of my job. I guess I feel fortunate that I have such support. There will always be something else I could be doing, but I will continue to read, as my pleasure is also my work.
