100 Book Challenge
As part of our curriculum, your child’s classroom will participate in the 100 Book Challenge. Your child will be doing lots of reading in school and at home. The reason for this program is simple: Research shows that students who read for one hour every day, from books that they can read and want to read, have a much better chance for success in school and beyond. The more time your child spends reading at his or her independent level, the better reader he or she will become. We need your help! Every night your child will bring home books and a log sheet. Each log sheet line equals one 15-minute Step. Your child should read for at least 30 minutes per night. When she or he does, she or he will fill in two Steps, and you should sign for both. Use this time to sit with your child as the Home Reading Coach (More information about the Home Reading Coach will be addressed at conferences). The reading should be easy and fun for your child. It should not be a struggle. Thank you for your support!
