Independent Reading
"The best way to become a better reader is to practice each day, with books you choose, on your just-right reading level. It soon becomes habit." - The Sisters We have been working on building up our reading stamina. We have built up our reading stamina to 10-15 minutes. Pictures of our Read To Self Time
Each child has their own browsing box. The children have the opportunity to shop for new books every week. We spend a lot of time early in the year learning about 'Just Right Books' and the different ways to read a book.

Leveled Books The children pick from the leveled books for their daily take home books to practice at their independent levels. They also choose books at their "Just Right Level" to place in their browsing boxes for Read To Self time.
