Ask your student why we read in fourth grade? We've discussed this a lot as we have started learning about the part of our Daily 5 Literacy Block called "Read to Self". Read to self time is when students do independent reading. As we work hard on learning, reading is a HUGE part of that. Students are working on building their stamina (another vocabulary word we've been talking about), to become readers in class. When students are doing read to self in class they are supposed to move around the room and get comfy, cozy as you will see pictured.
In addition to reading at school, part of their DAILY homework is to read EVERY NIGHT! Right now I"m only asking that students read 10-12 minutes at night, but we will build up to 25 minutes daily.
