Caught Our Eye

In an era of being glued to our digital devices, it is a welcomed moment when we get to pick up a tactile object like a book. A great feature put together by the staff at Monarch High School takes a look at just what everyone is reading. Not only do they look at what students are reading, but they dive deeper into why they are reading it. What about the books draw them to that particular text or author? In addition, they get some great insight from students as to why they turn to books. Examples include dealing with stress, exploring fiction, relatability and more. When creating this page, they were deliberate about making it much more than a “what you’re reading” page, instead taking it to a deeper, more meaningful level.
