Reading, Reading, Reading!

I don’t know if you have noticed, but reading has taken on a whole new meaning over the past two weeks.  My students are devouring books as fast as I can get them into their hands!  I am amazed by how my baby ducks are no longer abandoning books, but revelling in their abilities to complete whole chapter books independently!  In small group reading, students are introduced to new books and after about four days, I release them to read the rest of the book on their own as we move onto a new book.  Seeing them take the initiative to finish their books has renewed my love for teaching during this latest cold snap!  We might have been stuck inside, but at least we were stuck inside with some great literature.  Check out a few of my great readers!

      

Ask your child what book they are currently reading and what level it is!  Here’s hoping this awesome thirst for good stories continues for a long time in their lives!
