Night Time Learning : Reading

Talk about eyes glued to a book during Read to Self!
Remember to work on your reading stamina after school today!!!

Stamina is doing something for a long period of time without giving up or getting tired.

The second grade reading expectation is 20 minutes a night. You can build up to this slowly (adding a minute a night). So far in our class, we've reached a goal of 14 minutes!

What does building reading stamina and Read-to-Self behaviors look like? You should be in a comfortable place to read, being quiet, and reading the WHOLE time.

Can we skip a night of reading? Check out this incredible study in our blog's "Reading and Spelling" section and you decide! Just 20 minutes a night can make a HUGE difference at school and in life!

Happy Reading :)
