Magic Tree House Club: An iPod Success Story

Submitted by: Mrs. Williams, 2nd Grade Teacher at Byron-Bergen Elementary

As winter tends to be long and our students begin to tire in February, I was looking for a creative way to motivate my 2nd graders to increase their reading. What better way than implementing IPOD shuffles into my classroom as an end of the day activity which replaced their end of the day free time (they didn’t mind at all). After researching from media library and found Magic Tree House books I had a wonderful idea of starting a Magic Tree House Club.
