Weekly Home

A strategy to strengthen and communicate reading habits.

Expectations:

To read at least 90 minutes every week. Amount of minutes expected will increase every trimester.
Fill-out the Weekly Home Reading sheet sent home on Monday.
Due on Friday.
Divide up the minutes throughout the week in a way that makes sense for after-school schedules and family time.
Every day does not have to be filled out to meet the expectations as long as the 90 minute minimum is met by Friday.
There are 3 types of reading that can be done: Read to self, Read to someone, Read Aloud (audio or person). Throughout the week a combination of these reading ways can be done or the same one.
There is a chart of expectations on the back of every WHR sheet that is used for assessing the outcome of the recording and reflecting work.
Reflects will change weekly with the expectation that at least 1 is completed.
Weekly minutes of reading are accumulated for trimester calculating of the class average and graphing individual outcomes to assess and set goals for habits of reading.
