Book Club
…a reading
connection for home and school
Book Club is a great way to make reading an integral part of your family life. At least five days per week, your child should spend quality time with a book, newspaper, or magazine for at least 15 minutes. What is quality time? Reading silently, reading orally to someone, or, best of all, having someone read aloud to him or her! After reading, your child should record his/her minutes of time with the reading process on a Book Club slip. This slip, signed by an adult, is brought to school on the first day of each school week. The children will tally their reading minutes on a calculator and will keep track of their total reading time on their own individual classroom chart.
Here
is how it works:
·
Your
child reads at home for 15 minutes at least 5 days a week.
·
Record
the time spent reading (orally, silently, or being read to) in the day’s box on
the BOOK CLUB WEEKLY RECORDING SHEET.
·
Read
and record in this manner – all week long.
·
Your
child brings the BOOK CLUB WEEKLY RECORDING SHEET back to school on the first
day of each week.
·
Your
child will record his/her reading in increments of 75 minutes by adding
stickers to his/her chart.
·
Free
books will be chosen by your child for every 300 minutes read.
·
Each
child should be engaged in the reading process for at least 100 minutes per
week.
·
This is a weekly homework
assignment!
READING
TO WITH YOUR CHILD IS THE VERY BEST WAY TO CONVINCE THEM THAT READING TRULY IS
FUN AND VALUED FAMILY ACTIVITY! ENJOY!
