Have A Ball With Reading in 2nd Grade!

2009 - 2010 Program

Some children seem to be born goal-oriented and others need some motivation for a new way of reading more books. This plan has levels to be achieved combined with public recognition for each goal attained. Book choice is to be at the skill and interest level of your child. Together, you may pick any books they like at their reading level. If you are unsure, we will be glad to discuss your child's reading level and what would be appropriate. The object is for each child to work towards a goal - either numbers of books or numbers of pages read, and to round the bases with families.

Families sign a simple form indicating that your child has read an entire book and understands the

content. An oral book discussion focusing on the 5Ws (who, what, where, why, when and how) to an adult is highly recommended. This program relies on the Honor System and sportsmanship on the part of adults and children.

It is important that everyone gets a chance to achieve the first level of recognition so every student will have motivation to continue. At the end of the year the number of books and / or the pages read will be counted for lots of Hurrahs!

Families will be invited to three 2:30 P.M. Saint Anthony Saints Reading Celebrations:
November 20 , March 19, and June 10
Awards for the Levels will be presented.
