Home Reading

Class mass on Friday. Reading parts went home with students who have reading parts. Those who have not had a reading part will have one in the future class masses.

Today a blue folder went home labelled "Home Reading" please have a read through it.

We are starting a class book challenge. Students are asked to read 30 books in various genres (these are defined on the blog!) and to complete 20 tasks that practice vocabulary and retelling skills. These are concepts that were taught in class and are reinforced in our daily reading activities.


Students are able to choose books at their own levels (even the chapter books!) and are able to read independently or read aloud with someone. They are allowed to use books from home, our classroom or the library.

Here are the things that I expect to be handed in:
1.    The 30 Book Challenge Tracking sheet
2.   Response Tracking Sheet
3.   20 activities in the booklet

HAND IN THE ACTIVITIES AS YOU COMPLETE THEM. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST DAY TO HAND IN THE WHOLE BOOKLET.

Students:
If you finish all 30 books and activities and would like a challenge round, please let me know and I can give some extra activities.

THE DUE DATE FOR THE WHOLE ASSIGNMENT IS MARCH 1st.
