Students will be reading EVERY DAY! What a FANTASTIC way for our children to fall in love with reading!
Reader's Notebooks:
Students will be using their Reader's Notebook to jot down their reactions to the books they are reading.
Stop and Jot Reactions:
*Students must read for 20 minutes at home EVERY DAY. They must also complete a stop and jot.
*Both items will be checked the next day.
*Each night, parents will fill out a reading log tracker to record how long their child is reading.
