Great post, Laura! Really interesting to hear about the research between empathy and reading developing together. That makes a lot of sense to me!

Really great tips in here too! Thanks for sharing.

I definitely thought you would be interested to hear more about this, Kieran. The Read for Empathy book collection is really helpful for sourcing texts. I'd love to hear if you access any of the resources, or try out any of the approaches :)

Happy reading!! I feel like reading YA books has given me more empathy for my students :)

This is such a fantastic way to think about empathy, Jenna. When we talk about 'reading teachers' this could be an important consideration when suggesting books teachers may be interested in reading. Thank you for sharing this thought :)
