We've started a new game in the library and I wanted to show you the rules and give you an idea of my objectives in creating this game. Many students are sluggish readers, not willing to challenge themselves and I thought making it more active and with an intended goal (a private party) would stir up some excitement. It is not necessary to participate but encouragement from all sides would be appreciated. It only includes fiction titles and may include titles from your own classroom library. As a teacher or staff member you could play along, earning pts as well to encourage students to keep going. Each 3-5 grade class (except Christoffer's due to two late starts on Tuesdays) has been informed of the rules and many are now carrying around chapter books!! Ask them about the book marks and what they are reading!! Don't forget to look at the library flex time as a time when students can come in and change out finished chapters books as well. We are hoping to create Reading Rock Stars!!!
Rules of the Library Game:
1. Every game has rules and you have to follow them to play fair.
2. This game is all about reading; we need to practice reading to get better at reading.
