Points to remember with the 100 Book program:
Your child should hold the book correctly.
Find the word and put his/her pointer finger on it (using the hand he/she
writes with).
Look at the picture and say the word(Y book).
It is OK for you to help!
If your child has a book (YY) with a sentence or a phrase, then he/she
should find the first word and put his/her pointer finger on it. Look at
the picture. YOU (the parent) should read the first page and help your
child move his/her finger to the next word as you read it. Then your child
should read the page while pointing to each word. Then go to the next page
and read it alone. If your child has trouble with the word in the
sentence/phrase that is different, it is OK to help them with it.
Very soon everyone will be able to read these by themselves or with very
little help. Read the books several times for 15 minutes. Then have your
child write 1 title, level (Y or YY), date, and you sign 1 line for 15
minutes. You can sign 1 more line if you practice sight words and letter
names and sounds for 15 minutes. (Write “sightwords” on the line, date and
sign it.) Your child will write a new line at night. Do not sign the same
line that we sign at school.
Important Information on the Program:
The 100 Book Challenge is a systematic independent reading program that
allows each student to read at his or her independent success level every
day. The goal is for students to spend 30 minutes every day reading. They
then record their books (1 line for every 15 minutes of reading) on their
log sheet. Students may log two steps a day if they read at home for 30
minutes, and up to 6 steps on weekends. This program allows the students to
be exposed to new vocabulary without becoming frustrated by the reading
level.
All students need to read a minimum of 11 steps a week to stay at the school
goal.
100 Book Challenge is part of their nightly homework.
It is a fact, the more your child reads, the more successful they will be in
all subjects.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE STUDENTS FOR REACHING 100
LINES!!!!!
