How Colby Sharp Celebrates Reading with Students

June 17, 2025 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: I’ve been on summer break for about a week. It has been amazing to read when I’m not exhausted from teaching. I’m in the point of summer reading, where everything I read makes me think of a kid that I had in class this past school year. In our latest episode of The Yarn, I share some of the ways that I celebrate reading with my fifth graders at the end of the school year. I hope you’ll check it out on your favorite podcast app.

If you’d like to watch me talk about these celebrations, be sure to check out the video below. I used the audio from recording this video to make the podcast episode.
