Our school is taking part in a special, communitywide shared reading event. Every family will receive a copy of the same book and will be asked to read it together at home over the next few weeks. I am personally asking you to make the time so that your family can participate in this special activity.
Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With this program, we aim to build a Community of Readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, teachers, even administrative staff – will all be following along together.
Your child will receive a copy of our book at a special schoolwide assembly introducing the program and the book. Along with the book, you will receive a reading schedule so that you can keep up at home. Generally, you will be asked to read about 15 minutes each night. This can count for a reading step as well.
In school, your child will be invited to answer daily trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening. You will soon find that your child will take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story. In class, students will explore the book through activities and discussion. You will want to make sure your family keeps up so that your child can be included.
This is a novel program in that children of all grade levels will all be listening to the same book. Strange or daring as that may seem, it actually makes sound educational sense. Reading professionals recommend reading material out loud that is beyond a child’s own reading level. We also believe that you can and should continue reading chapter books with your older children, even when they are able to read by themselves. We have selected a title that can be followed and understood and enjoyed by younger students, but will still captivate and stimulate older children.
I know that you’ll enjoy this special reading time with your children. I hope to talk with both you and your student sometime in the days to come about this special book. When a whole school reads a book, there’s a lot to talk about. With your help, we can build a Community of Readers at our school.
Sincerely,
Dawn Corkran

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
We are doing a book swap Monday, March 11th . To be able to do this successfully, all ’100 Book Challenge’ books need to be returned Tuesday, March 12th. Please check under beds, between couch cushions, in the car, everywhere!
Also, starting this Monday, March 11th, students will not be sent home with ‘100 Book Challenge’ books until Friday March 15th. We will still have the 2 step at-home reading expectation for homework, but students may read any book they have at home. It does not need to be leveled.
Thank you for your support!
Dr. Rebekah Donovan
Literacy Coach
