Passport+to+Literacy

__ Passport to Literacy __ TOTAL HOURS READ: **38hours and 58minutes** TOP READERS FOR SEPTEMBER: ﻿Quinn Gorman, Sam Dube, Hayden MacKinnon TOP READERS FOR OCTOBER: Serena Chase, Grace Jennings, Quinn Black  Benefits of The Passport to Literacy Program:
 * Students will be more likely to spend time reading at home.
 * Students will be rewarded for individual effort.
 * Students will work together as a class toward a common goal.
 * Students will learn about different countries around the world.
 * Readers of all levels can participate, contribute and enjoy this program because reading is logged by hours spent reading, not by the number of books read.

﻿Students are encouraged to spend a minimum of 15 minutes a night reading. I will be sending books home at each childs reading level on Mondays. Students are required to read those same books each night until returning them on Friday, They may also read books from home along with the books from school if they wish. Using the same books for the week will help to gain fluency as a reader. A log sheet will be provided for students to track their reading times. This is sheet will be collected and recorded every Friday.

Rewarding Individual Effort:
 * Since this literacy enrichment program is based on hours logged, not the number of books read, everyone has a chance to be considered a "top reader!" This helps to build confidence in those readers who are not typically considered "top readers" because all it demands is students spend time reading!

﻿The "top readers" will be rewarded each month, as will the overall top readers! Everyone will be rewarded of thier hard work as a class once 400 logged hours have been reached. We will take a class "trip" to another country around the world.
