R&R — Read & Recharge
Your after-lunch quiet time to pick your vibe and find your book.

❓ What is R&R?
A short, protected block after lunch where everyone reads for themselves. No grades. No worksheets. Just you + something you actually want to read.
 

⏰ When: After lunch, daily.

🧠 Why we’re doing this

• Reset your brain after lunch so the next class feels easier.
  
  

• Choice matters: you pick the topic, genre, or format.
  
  

• Practice = progress: quiet minutes add up.
  
  

✅ What counts as reading?

• Books, graphic novels, manga, short nonfiction, memoirs.
  
  

• Any level is fine. Re-reads count. Trying a few opening pages also counts.
  
  

▶️ How it works

1️⃣ Grab something you want to read (ask for recs if you’re stuck).
2️⃣ Settle in (quiet body, eyes on page).
3️⃣ Read until time is called. 

🌟 The Zone (expectations)

• Quiet room. Voices off
  
  

• Stay in your seat. Book up and visible.
  
  

• This isn’t homework time—it’s reading time.
  
  

🤔 Not into reading?

• ⏳ Try the 10-minute rule: give it 10, then put your head down.
  
  

• 🧩 Go short: poems, short chapters, or a quick article.
  
  

🏅 Do I get credit?
R&R itself isn’t graded—it’s a daily reset for your brain.
BUT you can earn optional credit/incentives through library extras:

• 📝 Book Blurb Card (3–5 sentences about what you read)
  
  

• 🗺️ Genre Passport stamp (try a new genre)
  
  

• 🗣️ First-Lines Challenge (copy + rate the best opening line you found)
  
  

• 📣 Peer Rec (write one sticky-note recommendation for our display)
   

Have your librarian enter these activities in your Book Bank... all 4 gets 1 hour of credit. 

🙅 What if I refuse?
R&R is part of our day for everyone. If reading isn’t happening today:

• Sit quietly and rest your eyes on the page of a book or magazine.

• Put your head down and wait quietly. this sounds super boring though...
