Reading logs still need to be completed as usual, with parents signatures, time read, book title, and overall time read throughout the week. HOWEVER, the summary no longer needs to be written on the log.
Instead, the Book a Day worksheet must be filled out and stapled to the reading log. This will serve as their summary. We are working on retelling and looking for the beginning, middle, and end. We have also been working on thinking about key events and cause and effect. This new worksheet will help students to do this. The sheet should be filled in throughout the week as the students read. They will be sequencing the events in what they read.
This is will helpful practice for the PARCC and help them develop their writing skills.
I ask that ALL students are reading a chapter book at their level. They should read one book throughout the week, rather than skipping around and reading multiple books.
