Did you know your children LOVE to read?? I know some of you are thinking I can't be talking about your child....but I am! They love the time I give them to just get cozy with a book around the room. I usually plan about 15 or 20 minutes for this but almost always end up giving more time because they are really enjoying their books. We call this time "SSR"....Sustained Silent Reading. Sometimes when it has been a very successful reading time, they can earn a letter. They don't know what they are earning but they are very curious to see what the next letter will be. Their first reward was "Squirt!" Some of the guesses were pretty funny. A couple of kids thought they were earning "Squids". :) Here are some pictures of SSR and Squirt time.
Watching them "really reading" is a definite highlight of my day!
