Who are Mystery
Readers?
Mystery Readers can be parents,
grandparents, older siblings, or other relatives. Occasionally mystery
readers may be staff members from Bell's Crossing!
When do Mystery
Readers come?
Mystery Readers come to our
classroom on Mondays. This is the day that we do not have a
"special" or related arts. However, if a Mystery Reader needs a
different time to suit their schedule, we'll be glad to accommodate!
Why use the
Mystery Reader program?
Students love to see
their parents, grandparents, and special friends get involved in our
classroom. The Mystery Reader program allows any one who wants to become
involved because it requires little time, but the memories will last
forever for the surprised students!
Where do I go to
sign up to be a Mystery Reader?
The Mystery Reader program will not
begin until October. Mrs. Madden will have a Mystery Reader sign-up
sheet in the room at Open House on September 14. She will also send a
reminder home, or you can let her 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, Mrs. Madden will be glad to
have one for you. The week prior to your visit, Mrs. Madden 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:
#1 I love to read and eat chocolate.
#2 I was born and raised in South Carolina.
#3 My family vacations at Myrtle Beach every summer.
#4 I have 3 lovely children and 2 dogs.
#5 Every Friday, my family goes to Frodo's for Pizza Night.
