TEACHER'S GUIDE TO GROWING SUPER READERS!

The mission of BOOK IT! is to encourage more reading inside and outside of the classroom.  Simple as that.   The result?  Kids want to read and that’s when the fun really starts. There are a couple of practices, though, that need to be in place to really put the “want” in reading:

• Teachers reading aloud at school every day. >MORE
• Kids reading at home every day. >MORE 

This is an unbeatable combination – you modeling what it is like to just enjoy a great book and them putting in the practice time at home.  Definitely going to see some Super Readers when this happens!

Because BOOK IT! is a reading incentive program, we recommend that reading goals be set by the minute. Establishing an at-home reading routine right off the bat, especially for students in grades K-2,  also leads to a habit that will likely continue all through elementary school.  Goals can also be set by the page or book which may be more effective when “learning to read” turns into “loving to read.”

The BOOK IT! Goal Setting Guide is just that – a guide.  You can mix and match from the different grade levels.  You can reduce or increase the amount of time.  BOOK IT! is simple, flexible and fun!
