Special Reader Update - Mark Your Calendars!

Here is the updated roster for Special Readers, with a reminder on how it works. 


Monday, November 18 - Alex and Lynn
Monday, December 2 - Augustus and Lawson
Monday, December 9 - Livia and Emma
Monday, December 16 - Finley and Kalyan

Monday, January 6 - Mira and Evan
Monday, January 13 - Graham and Alex


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.
