Library NewsAs we start the year, have conversations with your child about their "reader identity." This is comprised of 5 elements - 1) Attitude towards reading, 2) Self-efficacy (confidence), 3) Reading habits, 4) Book choice, 5) Process (the work a student does independently to solve words, read fluently, and comprehend). Developing a reader identity leads to independent reading for pleasure. "No single literacy activity has a more positive effect on students' comprehension, vocabulary knowledge, spelling, writing ability, and overall academic achievement than free voluntary reading." - The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child - Donalyn Miller Grades K-2 Challenge: Connect to Beanstack and log a book you've read together! Grades 3rd-5th Challenge: Submit a Beanstack book review! We are excited to celebrate our Beanstack Reader of the Week - Gowan Chenoweth! Gowan logged over 24,000 minutes of reading this summer! Keep reading, Rockets! |
Have you checked out our Lending Library? The purpose of the Lending Library is to provide students and families with easy access to books to enjoy at home. Students are encouraged to take a book, read it, and exchange it for a new book. Our goal is to help build a love of reading while making books accessible to everyone. Stop by our Lending Library, located along the walkway on the hill in front of the school. |
