Abstract
Kajder describes the journey she took with her students to build a community of readers, sometimes using technology that was new to her as much as it was to some of her students. Through listening to her students, keeping up with professional literature and meetings, and analyzing what it was that made reading fun to begin with, Kajder and her students rediscovered the fun, the excitement, and the learning that all kinds of texts can incite.
