Reading Stamina

We are also starting to build up our reading stamina this month.  Each lesson starts with a strategy on different ways to read, how to pick the right book, or what we can look for in books.  Then I send the class off to independently read or read with a partner.  We fill out our stamina graph every day that we read, our goal is to work up to 20 minutes.  So far, we can read for 4 minutes straight. I let the kids pick anywhere in the room to pick as their reading spot for the day.  They love to go under the tables, on the couch or on the carpet.
