Make a goal with your child to read 30 minutes every day!!!
One of my goals as a teacher is to promote a LOVE of reading for students. I want children to enjoy reading – not be forced to do it. One way to develop a love for reading is to make sure that the children are reading books that they enjoy and interest them. It is also necessary to make sure that children are reading at their level so they can feel a sense of accomplishment. We will be spending a lot of time at the beginning of this year talking about finding books that fit them well. Another way to develop a love for reading is to make it fun! Reading under a “tent” with a flashlight before bedtime is just one way to make reading exciting. In our classroom we will have plenty of comfy placed to get settled into a book.
Goals Accelerated Reader (AR) – Students will be expected to meet their individual goals. The school offers VERY GOOD incentives for students who meet their AR goals!
