Here’s what Mrs. Kanz expects from YOU:
~ You are expected to read 20 books this year. Some books will be grade level appropriate, self-selected independent reading, others will be teacher-selected. That is right. Twenty!
~ You will bring free reading book to class every day. (This is a crucial step in helping you reach this goal)
~ You will continue reading at home each evening; approximately 20-25 minutes per night in addition to regular homework. (This is also a crucial step in helping you reach this goal!)
~ You will seek out assistance from Mrs. Kanz when needed.
~ You will maintain a Reading Notebook, which you will add to weekly. Your notebook will be collected every two weeks.
Here’s what YOU can expect from Mrs. Kanz:
~ I will give you independent reading time and/or discussion time weekly.
~ I will check your Reading Notebook regularly.
~ I will give you access to our classroom library that is full of high interest books.
~ I will make recommendations to help you select books that interest you.
