READING INCENTIVES:
Nonfiction Reading Club
According to experts, nonfiction is a great way for kids to develop critical thinking and analytical skills and, you guessed it, the ability to read and understand complex texts. We want our students to balance their reading between nonfiction and fiction. However, the bottom line is we want them to READ every day!
Students are recognized for nonfiction reading with a T-shirt and certificate.

Fabulous Fifty Fiction Club
Encouraging students to read lots of different kinds, or genres, of books, exposes them to different words, different kinds of images, and whole new worlds. Students in grades K-5 are recognized for reading fifty fiction books.
Students who meet this goal earn a fiction T-shirt and certificate.

November Picture Book Challenge
The visual aspect of picture books makes them stand out against other forms of books. The illustrations help readers to understand what they’re reading and let their imaginations come alive. For new and struggling readers, these illustrations are essential for understanding the story.
The images add depth to the story aiding understanding. By looking at the illustrations, children develop the ability to analyze visually. These analysis skills will also help them when they come to read longer texts later on.
Encouraging students to read lots of different kinds, or genres, of books, exposes them to different words, different kinds of images, and whole new worlds.
​
The Picture Book Challenge runs November 1 through November 30. Forms go home with every child in their DOG Folder.
Students meeting the challenge receive a certificate and acknowledgment in Thursday Thoughts.
Kindergarten: 10 books
First and Second: 12 books
