What can you do to make this the best year EVER for reading?
Type your meaningful and thought-out responses below!
I believe that we could do some fun reading games. For example, there is this game I call," 15 minutes, prizey limits". How you play is that you have to read 15 minutes and each time you do you get a prize kisses candy. This game needs two players to take turns. First one person goes and reads 15 min and the other person gives a kisses candy away to the person who is reading. You can choose when you want to stop reading, but only less than 13 times. This is a fun game that gets you to read for everyone 3 and older!!!!
Ya maybe I can also add that. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Q: What can you do to make this the best year ever in reading?
A: I can try to reach level z in testing. I really want to achieve that goal! I would also like to reach level z on Raz Kids! If i can get to level z this year than I would easily be able to hit level z on Raz Kids! I would also like to try to make reading fun if I am reading for very long periods; I sometimes doze off while reading for more than 40 minutes. I think that making reading a competition would be a great idea, as Eileen suggested to Taron. I would finally like to have a deep understanding of words that I am unsure of when reading higher level books. I am not a big fan of using context clues! I also hate pronouncing them wrong. If I could do all these things this year, I would be really proud!!!
Max and Laura, GREAT JOB with your writing! I hope you achieve your goals!!!
Q : What can you do to make this the best year in reading ?
I also want to pay attention to what I am reading. I just don't want to speed through a book so I can get a lot of volume. Like Mrs. Petrovic said, " Don't read for the volume, read for the value." I would rather read 3 pages and understand them completely then read 30 pages and not know what is going on in the book.
One of my reading goals is to try to understand what I am reading and trying to understand what is happening.To do this,I would have to reread the the story over and over again until I understand it.My next goal is to reach level Z just like Max. During reading I would read a lot of Just Right Books just like Laura. My last reading goal is to look up words that I don't know as I read.I would have to keep a dictionary beside me and if i don't know what a word is,I could search it up.These are my three reading goals.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one to say that I have trouble with stating the summary of a book. I would also like to find the main idea of a book faster. I can work on these two almost impossible tasks by practicing on different level books and different genre books like nonfiction or fiction.
My reading goals are to try to start reading other catagories than fantasy/ fiction. I also want to try to understand more words by asking other people, looking it up in a dictionary, or by looking it up on a computer.
I agree with you Robert and Nathan!
My reading goals are to learn to read books that are 2-4 levels higher then my book. So I will learn quicker to read better and faster. The way I can do that is by learning good things about reading and also get advise for an adult about reading and then practice my vocabulary and grammar Then I will start reading. Then I'll maybe get a 4 on my reading report card..
Ethan, maybe it's okay to skip 1 reading level,but 2-4? I'm not trying to be mean or anything. You know what I mean?
Oops. I forgot my period.
My reading goal is to read more often. I feel like reading more often will help me with my reading skills and just my reading. Reading is also important because when you get to middle school or high school, you have to read ALOT of chapter books. One more reading goal for me is to limit how many books I will read over the summer, and during the school days.
Due to the fact that I am already level z in reading, a goal of mine is to learn Old English and expand my vocabulary. If you have thought of others leave them in a reply because I can`t think of any others.
Oh no! I accidently posted 9/21/16's homework for reading goals onto the discussion board guidelines!
Well... not exactly the discussion board guidelines; more like the comments thingy next to the discussion board guidelines.
I noticed that i don't get a hold of the main idea or the story of the book. When i read chapter books so i figured that i can picture what is happening in the book in my mind to get a better understanding of the books i read and also every now and then i can stop reading and i can ask myself," what did i read from the book so far" so i can create a little summary in my mind to have a quick recap of the story.
Q:How are you doing with your reading goals and What can you do to achieve this goal?
My book level is a T leveled book, and the book is mainly about a dog getting lost and finding his way home. The book name is A Dogs Way Home by Bobbie Pyron.
I read my book very well. But, I need to work on understanding the book more, which is one of my reading goals. I also have to work on understanding a question that somebody will ask. Just like when we read the first part of book [1-4 chapters]. I didn't understand some questions.
Just wanted to check in with my reading goals (like I did yesterday), during class, what I did differently is that I used a way that I just wanted to shoutout. When you are reading your just right book, always try to find an idea ( like the plot of the story), to form questions and move it to new ideas to form more and more questions. You can try it, it works for me. Maybe it wont work for you, but you can try.
Thats a nice goal .
