Reading Wall of Fame
Independent Reading has been a component of Balanced Literacy that everyone has incorporated into their ELA Block. Students (K-5) are reading at school and at home each day and recording their steps (entries) on their reading log. We want to celebrate the students' hard work!
We are creating a Reading Wall of Fame for our students (K-5) that have read 500+ steps (ARC) or 500+ log entries (Non-Arc). Once a student has read 500 + steps or has 500 + entries in their reading log, please complete the Reading Step Hall of Fame.
