Read to Self

First graders building reading stamina and choosing “just right” books for themselves. 

Grade One

Practicing a little read to self in order to become better readers, writers and spellers! We also practice this because reading is fun!  The expectation is that kids get started right away, work the whole time, stay in one spot, read quietly, and build their stamina. 

Fifth Grade Independent Reading!

Knowing how to choose “just right” books and building your reading stamina are two very important reading skills that these kiddos rocked! 😀

Hi There,
