Mystery Reader Volunteers

In order for students to see the importance of reading in and 
outside of the classroom, I would like to invite a variety of people to 
visit our classroom and read a book to the class.   The students will not 
know who the mystery reader of the week, so it will be a great surprise when 
the reader turns out to be someone they know! Once I find out how many 
people are interested, I will make up a schedule. Send me an email if this 
interests you or if you know any other family friend or relative who would 
be 
interested.

Here are a few tips that I found to help you out:

Things You’ll Need:
-a few age-appropriate books 
-an enthusiastic audience

Step 1. Familiarize yourself with books the child likes. If you know that 
writer Eric Carle is an author that the student likes, go to the library and 
get a few Eric Carle books. 
Step 2. Know your age group. Check the library for a list of popular books 
based on grade. Most public libraries can provide you with lists of the most 
popular books. Young classes also like funny books. 
Step 3. Bring a holiday book. If you’re Mystery Reader during the week 
before a holiday, consider bringing holiday book such as “Trick or Treat 
Countdown” or “The Night Before Thanksgiving”. 
Step 4.  Bring a prop or a treat that relates to the book. The kids will 
appreciate it if you bring a snack to give out after you’re reading. It can 
be as simple as a box of mini donuts.

BEHAVIOUR

Behaviour Chart: 
There is a behaviour chart in the classroom which keeps 
students accountable for their behaviour. When the students do not follow 
the 4 classroom agreements of Mutual Respect, Appreciation, Participation 
and Attentive Listening, then they will first receive a warning. If they 
continue to make poor choices they will receive a green card, then a yellow, 
then a red card which signifies that a phone call will be made home. I have 
found that this is a successful method because it gives the students a few 
chances before the consequence and it is easy to understand because it is 
represented in visual form (the cards).

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
