Bookmark These! Reading Quotes to Inspire Your Class

I always love a good quote, whether it is for motivation, inspiration, or thought-provoking ideas. 

I enjoy displaying them in the classroom, including them in class newsletters, notes, or using them in home reading records and classroom reading activities. 

You could also tuck quotes into student reading journals, add them to your class newsletter as a weekly inspiration, or even turned them into bookmarks during Book Week.
