Reading Preferences Forms

Angela Woehl, Media Coordinator, North Buncombe Elementary created a reading preferences form for her younger students. Each schedule cycle (2 weeks) is changed a bit for current events or topics. This example has "How our country works" and Halloween options. This is the 2nd grade version. Each are accessed via qr codes using the camera on their ipads.
