Reading Logs
This year, your child’s classroom will participate in 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 logsheet. Each logsheet line equals one 15-minute Step. For KDG families, the log sheet is coloring in a number box. 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. The reading should be easy and fun for your child. It should not be a struggle.
We are requesting parents to be Home Coaches. The job involves only 5 things:
Home Coach Responsibilities:
- Turn off TV, computers, phone, and games.
- Observe your child reading for 30 minutes.
- Think and talk about the books afterward.
- Sign 100 Book Challenge logsheets.
- Student packs up books for safe return to school.
Books are a window to the world! Thank you for being a partner with us in your child’s education.
