100 Book Challenge
It is a reading program designed to get students to read. In order to do this, your child will come home every night with one or more books and a log sheet in a folder. We want your child to read each night and to enjoy what he/she reads. We do not want reading to be a struggle or to be hard.
Children will read books on their own reading level where they feel comfortable and can read all the words. The important thing is that children have fun reading. Research has shown that the more a student reads the more successful he/she will be in school.
Some suggestions to do every night to help your child become a better reader.
1. Provide the time and opportunity for your child to read his 100 Book Challenge color-coded book every day.
2. Make sure your child has a relaxed, comfortable place to read.
3. Encourage your child to read his/her book silently. Provide help only if needed.
4. Sign your child's log after he/she reads.
Thank you, Elisa Brown, Principal
Congratulations to all of the students who received their 100 Book Challenge medals and Student of the Month certificates!
