This week I have discussed
all of these reading incentive programs with all of the K – 5 classes. We will have 3 major
reading incentive programs at Christie throughout this school year that will be
sponsored thru the library. I would like
to recommend that you highly encourage your children to participate in all of
the programs. Statistics have proven
that the more students read the more their grades and test scores improve. I am also hoping that it will help expand
their reading experience with different genres and increase their enjoyment of
reading.
Each
student will have a reading log for each program that they will keep in their
binders. Once they have completed the
requirements, they will return the logs to their teacher or to Ms. Lewis in the
library. Each program will be explained
below.
Texas 2x2 List (K – 2nd)
Students
must read (or be read to) at least 5 books from a list of 20 in order to vote
for their favorite book. Voting will take place the week of April

and vote, they will be eligible for a popcorn or popsicle party in May.
Texas Bluebonnet Award (3rd – 5th)
Students
must read (or be read to) at least 5 books from a list of 20 in order to vote
for their favorite book. Voting will take place the week of January
23, 2017. If students read 5 books

Six Flags Read to Succeed
Program
(K – 5th)
Read to Succeed is an exciting program that encourages students
in grades K through 6 to read for fun. Students who complete six hours of
recreational reading earn a free ticket
to Six Flags! The program is available to teachers and schools at no cost
to participate, and it's a great way to motivate kids to read. Registration
will begin in late October. The deadline
is usually towards the end of February. More details to come in early
November.
Bookworm
Challenge (K – 5th)
This challenge is a reading incentive program based on Donalyn
Miller’s The Book Whisperer to engage our students in free choice
independent reading of a variety of genres. Each grade level has their own
goals and types of genres. The deadline
for completion will be April 28, 2017. Students who complete the challenge
will receive a certificate and a medal.
They will also be recognized at the final assembly in June.
