Reading Star!
I love it when the kids in our class find books that interest them! For reading at home in our class, there aren’t any books that they are required to read (we do that together during class time).
When they read at home, they can read whatever material interests them, whether that’s a history book about WW2, a chapter book about horses, or instructions on how to repair a tractor. It doesn’t matter to me!
Students can record the name of the book and the amount of time that they read on their “Reading Star” sheet, which will be kept in their agenda. When their sheet is filled in, they can return it to me and take home a new one.
Completed sheets are converted to “Book Bucks”, which the kids can spend to buy books and other fun things at the school’s book fair and Scholastic book orders through our Scholastic book orders.
Our goal is that each child should read at least 20 minutes per day. They can read with you, read along with an audio book, or read on their own!
