Readers R Leaders Program 

Here are some clarifications on tracking reading minutes for the program.  There have been a few questions and I think this will help.  Ultimately our goal is to keep encouraging our students to read!

• Weekend minutes count!  Encourage your student to keep reading on weekends and count those minutes as either extra on the tracking sheet or use them to make up for days during the week that they may have missed.   
• Make sure that the student actually writes down on the calendar line labeled “extra minutes”, the number of minutes read.  Some students are just checking off that they read extra that day, but we actually need the number of minutes read so that it can count toward the 1,000,000 minute goal! 
• If a reading assignment/homework is given that requires them to read at home for 20 minutes then those minutes count!   
• Watch for the Readers R Leaders bulletin board on the second floor outside Ms. Temple’s classroom! 
• October tracking forms are due November 3^rd.  If you lost your tracking form you can print a new one from the archives page of the Ames e-backpack.
