Special Readers - Updated Roster/Mark Your Calendars!

So far, it has worked out pretty well to have our "Special Reader" event to happen directly before French class on

Wednesday morning, from about 10:40 to 11:00. If a child comes with a longer book, the second reader may

have to be rescheduled. This has happened a couple of times. Normally, though, both readers have had time.

A reminder of how it works:

Two children will come prepared to read a special book aloud to their classmates. This book should be picked out 

at home and practiced several times for increased fluency and expression. Shorter, funny picture books are the 

most popular with audience members, although children have also had success reading joke/riddle books, short 

mystery stories, poetry, and other types of literature.

Not only does this time give the readers a chance to become better readers, it also gives the rest of the class a 

chance to practice being good audience members. We are learning to listen with not only our ears, but with our 

eyes, mouths, and hearts.

Already scheduled:
November 29 - Sophia and Alex

And here is the roster for the third go-round:

December 6 - Dillon and Lexi
