Daily Lit Subscription

Daily Lit Subscription

            Daily Lit.com is a website that subscriber readers can subscribe to a book to read.  The book is separated in segments and these segments are sent to the subscriber’s email daily.  The segments are long enough for about 5-10 minutes of reading time every day.  This is a great method of reading because a person doesn’t have to worry about toting a book around or remembering to pick it up.  What’s more, book subscriptions are free.  Due to copyright laws, numerous titles are not available, but most classics are.

            The book I’ve subscribed to for the past several months is Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.  It is one of my favorite novels of all time and one of the world’s most original love stories.  Since I enjoy reading this book many times, I’ve found that it’s easy to receive a portion of the book by email daily.  Due to my current schedule as a teacher and mother, it’s hard for me to have true reading time for myself for which I am able to read leisurely.  With daily lit, the 5-10 minute reading can be done on my break at lunch or on my smartphone or iPad if I’m waiting at the doctor’s office. 

Teachers can use Daily Lit in a classroom setting if he/she doesn’t have access to print copies of books.  Daily Lit subscriptions can be used for read alouds or guided reading instruction.  In these cases, teachers would simply log in to his/her email and pull up the daily subscription. 

Overall, I enjoy receiving the daily lit subscriptions because it reminds me that I should read every day and it gives me a segment of suggested reading time that fits my home and work schedule.
