lovers of literature, and makers

How can we foster dialogue and questioning among students as an essential instructional practice?
I treat my kids as lovers and makers of literature, from day one. We speak in the language of book lovers and poetry lovers. We name the qualities of good literature. We look at issues and questions raised by our readings. Reading and writing and talking fill the air, always.
lovers and makers of literature

I'll be using this as part of my personal jdt*armory.
