Why Does Reading at Home Matter?
Why Does Reading at Home Matter?
This graphic shows how important daily reading is. Even if your child doesn't want to do the 40-Book Challenge and doesn't love to read, try to fit in reading throughout the day. Set goals with your child. Your child can also listen to audiobooks, read to a pet (it's a thing!), or have a sibling read with/to them.
The 40-Book Challenge
The 40-Book Challenge
The 40-Book Challenge is a voluntary challenge that is meant to be fun and encourage students to explore different genres and enjoy reading. It is a vetted program based on “The Book Whisperer” by Donalyn Miller, and is meant to encourage students, teachers, and families to embrace a culture of reading and develop a love of literature. There will be a tracker linked in Google Classroom that students will fill out every time they finish a new book.
Read the attached image, which will show students how many books in each genre they're expected to read.
****Students CAN count picture books; however, they are expected to read 5 picture books to count as 1 book for the challenge.
Book Reports
Book Reports
Every student is expected to complete a book report project at the end of each term.
Due dates will be: 10/19, 1/11, and 3/21
This can be on any book of choice, as long as it isn't a picture book, and is over 75 pages. A chapter book is preferred, but it can be an informational book or a graphic novel, as long as it is age-appropriate for 10-11 year-olds.
All 3 graphics to the left have creative ideas for book report projects.
