Our first mystery reader-Karma's mom!

What a fun book Lucas and his mom shared with us!

You can imagine the sound effects we heard in our classroom!

We had our first Grandma for Mystery Reader! Here is Grace's Grandma Lantz. She read several wonderful stories!

MYSTERY READER???

What is a Mystery Reader?

Mystery Readers are special guests who come to our classroom to read a story to students. Students love to see their parents, grandparents, and special friends get involved in our classroom.

Who are Mystery Readers?

Mystery Readers can be parents, grandparents, older brothers or sisters, or other relatives.

When do Mystery Readers come?

Mystery Readers come to our classroom on Fridays at 2:15. However, if a Mystery Reader needs a different time to suit their schedule, we'll be glad to accommodate!

Where do I go to sign up to be a Mystery Reader?

The Mystery Reader program will not begin until October. I will have a Mystery Reader sign-up sheet in the room at Open House. I will also send a reminder home, or you can let me know through email that you would like to be involved in this program. Your child will be SO excited that you participated, but remember to keep it "top secret" until your big day arrives!

How does the Mystery Reader program work?

Once you've signed up for a date to come read to our class, you can start thinking of a book you would like to bring to read. If you don't have a book, I will be glad to have one for you. The week prior to your visit, I will send you a reminder, along with a request for five clues to read to the students the day of your visit. There should be 5 clues that start general and become more specific. By the fifth clue, your child should be able to guess that you are the special mystery reader for the day!

Examples of clues you might send in...

 

A big thank you to Mrs. Newingham and Mrs. Madden for their idea of "Mystery Reader" in their classrooms!
