Reading small medium large Roaring Reader Students are expected to read every night for twenty minutes for the Roaring Reader Calendar. Students must return their calendar to school at the end of each month with the days they have read initialed by a parent. Reading for Points Every time a student finishes reading a book, they are to fill out an index card with the title, author, number of pages and a short review. This can be an opinion of the book, an explanation of a favorite part or character or a connection to another book, real life experience or author. Every time a child reads 100 pages, they will receive a sticker on our chart. If a book has beyond 100 pages the extra pages will be carried over and added on to the next book. Books read for Roaring Reader can be used to gain points. At the end of the year, Mr. Gabriel will treat the top three readers from our class to lunch and dessert! Reading is taught through reading response notebooks in fifth grade. Each student reads a book on their "just right" level. Students are daily answering questions based on their reading in their reading journals. Once a week they are writing a letter to their teacher based on the skill strategies of the week. The teacher then responds to the students' letters and will conference with each child about the book he or she is reading. It is our goal to encourage children to read and think utilizing a variety of genres. Students also particpate in weekly guided reading groups and every four weeks take part in a literature circle discussion group.
