These students have made reading goals continuously since the beginning of the year. Most have become more fluent, and most have continued to grow as readers by going up levels, but what makes me the most proud, is how so many look forward to reading books on their own and to our read aloud time during the day. There is an audible moan when it is time to stop and move on to our next activity. For some, their love of books and reading has grown. They are becoming more confident, taking risks with new series, and reading with more stamina. I am proud of these kids!
It really is quite amazing when I step back and think about it to have a classroom full of third graders be so silent that you can hear a pin drop. That is often the case during reading and that is the case as I type this. Looking around our classroom now makes my heart so incredibly happy. Every student is reading their book for book club and searching for signposts as they read what they have assigned themselves for the day. They have been reading for at least 15 minutes and every single student is lost in their book that they chose. Soon, each student will meet in their book club and they will discuss if they found any signposts and what that made them think. They will make predictions together and talk about what is happening to their characters.
