Room 21 students are about to broaden their reading horizons. As of today, our independent reading homework has changed slightly. Students will still be reading independently for 30 minutes per night, but they will also be required to read at least two books per month outside of the fiction genre.
That means they must choose two books per month from:
- non-fiction
- poetry
- drama
- folktales
For these books, they will be completing a quick book report. The two reports must be handed in by the end of each month, but students can give them to me any time they finish one.
If you think of it, take a moment once or twice a week to check in with what your student is reading; asking them to tell you about the book is a good way to get them thinking about what they're reading.
Thanks!
