Please take a minute to read through the Paws for Reading packet with a cat or a dog on the front this weekend. We discussed this AT HOME reading program during stations today, and I'm hoping you'll join forces with me to reach our reading goals this year! There will be prizes for students that turn in their reading log for reading 20 minutes AT HOME each day!
Keep in mind, "reading time" looks very different than what you might expect. Kids can:
- Listen to a book on an iPod, CD, tape, etc
- Read aloud with an adult (taking turns reading a sentence, paragraph, or page at a time)
- Reading silently
- be read book by an older sibling or adult
- read to younger siblings
Reading materials also go beyond just books and beyond this list, too:
- eBooks
- Playaways (portable digital books at public libraries)
- magazines
- online news for kids (yahooligans.com, timeforkids.com)
- reading baseball cards or similar
- Raz-Kids
- IREAD links on our blog
- Comics
- Scrapbooks
***Book orders went home today, too! For EVERY online order, our class will receive 1 FREE book! I was able to purchase 25 books with the last order using points from our class order. These books go directly into your child's hands! Thanks for considering your order! (Think gifts . . .!)
