What is the best way to become a better reader?
READ, READ, READ!
We start by learning "Read to Self".
Below is the chart we created together which describes our roles in the classroom.
 |
The students have their own Book Baggies full of "Just Right" books.
|
The students each find their own comfortable spot to read in. We work each day to lengthen our independent reading time. We call this building stamina.
So far, we have built up our stamina to 11 minutes!

| Some like reading in the tent. |
 |
| Others really love the new ball chairs! |
 |
| The students are responsible for choosing books that will keep them engaged and interested the whole time. Over the next few weeks, students will begin to record information about the books they read on this recording sheet. |
Common Core Standard RL2.10 By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories and poetry, in the grades 2–3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
