Episode 2.9 of Can't Shelve This is now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more.
Reading doesn't have to be solitary. It can be a team sport!
Janette and Leah are joined by school librarian Lisa Marcum (Plainfield Central High School) to unpack what gamified reading looks like: what works, what flops, and how competition can build connection. Plus, Lisa shares step-by-step how she created a thriving district-wide Book Battle that gets teens (and teachers!) excited to read and talk about books together.
