Students are loving the read-a-thon. During our 30 minute session with the reading torch, we book shopped, we read our chapter book, practiced our phonics reader with shared reading and did some partner reading.
In morning meeting, we greeted our friends and shared the writing on our shirts. They loved reading the messages and giggling about what they said. Later in the week we will tie in writing and write a book review from a book we read during the read-a-thon.
