Read Across Kentucky

This school year fourth graders will be participating in a program called Read Across Kentucky, which is a spin off the program Read Across America used in 5th grade at Centerfield. Every student will be required to read 35 books this school year and complete a reflection. Ten of the books and reflections will be completed in class, but the other 25 must be completed at home. Students will have some time in the classroom to work on their 25 books and reflections during their quiet reading time, but the bulk of it needs to be completed at home. I will be modeling how to write the reflections in class the first few weeks of school and I will be providing a reflection example in the future. Reflections must be submitted on Edmodo (more information to come) or can be hand written and submitted in person.
Three reasons Read Across Kentucky is AWESOME:
 1. Setting BIG goals pushes us to work hard and achieve!
 2. This opportunity will allow you to enjoy different genres that you may not have read before.
 3. Practice makes progress! Read everyday. 
To help stay on track use this schedule to help you make your goal.
