Day 6: Keeping Kids Accountable | Million Words Campaign Ensuring that your kids are reading texts they enjoy is your first critical task. Next, you’ll need to be sure that your kids are truly engaging with, comprehending, and thinking critically about their texts, since, well, that’s what strong readers do. In today’s lesson you will be instructing your students in your preferred method for monitoring their reading. Before today’s lesson you’ll want to take some time to consider what type of accountability system makes the most sense for you and your students. At the most basic level (which we’ll refer to as Level One) you will simply ask for basic information about your students’ reading, such as the title of the book, author, pages read, and time read. Level 1 Reading Log At a more advanced level (which we’ll refer to as Level Two) you’ll be asking more from your students in order to gain a better window into the level at which they’re understanding their reading.

Literary Holidays to Celebrate All Year Long - 2020 It's that time of year again - time to add all the literary holidays you can find to your planner! We have written a calendar in past years, but we've been trying to add as many reasons to celebrate as we can find. We also checked all the dates, because some of them are on a specific date, while others are on, for example, the Thursday of the second full week of the month. If you have more literature-based or library-friendly holidays, please let us know and we will add them in.Please note that, while many of these holidays are officially sponsored by (and you can purchase posters and such from) the American Library Association, many of them are made up just for fun, and there is no official, cohesive, governing body. As such, you can celebrate them however you like.
