The purpose of Reader’s Choice is to encourage students to become recreational readers. Why? Recreational reading can improve overall academic success, making school easier and helping students get better results, and is something that will prove valuable throughout life.
Unfortunately, students seldom have time to read material of their choosing at their leisure during the school day. Is it any wonder many students claim to hate reading? Not really. The reality is that all of us tend to enjoy reading when we have the choice with our reading.
This class was created to help you develop some of those vital reading skills and (fingers crossed) help you discover a thirst for reading along the way. Developing strong reading skills is essential... and can be very rewarding!

#1 - Reading Logs
#1 - Reading Logs
To show what you have read, you will complete reading logs each time you read (approximately every 40 minutes).
There are TWO OPTIONS for reading logs:
You can print off a hard copy of the form.
You can complete them on a digital document.
Each log must contain (1) the date, (2) pages read, and (3) a brief summary of what was read. Logs should reflect your understanding of what you read, be written in complete sentences, and include specific information, such as names and situations.
#2 - Book Hypes
#2 - Book Hypes
You will complete several mini-projects to “hype” or promote your books.
There are many potential options provided from which you can select. The idea is that you choose what projects best allow you to demonstrate your understanding of your reading in a way that best fits your interests, personality, learning styles, etc.
The list of options is a work in progress, and I am always open to adding more. So, if you have other ideas for showing me your learning, please share them with me!
