Ever since reading The Book Whisperer years ago, I've challenged my students to read 25 books during the year. I carve out time for them to read almost every day in class, and expect that they'll read some at home, too.
This year, when I saw that Kimberly Geswein of KGFonts had created letters on book spines, I thought of a new way to keep track of what kids read! I posted this in the hallway outside my room, and made a ton of white, blank ones to match.
Now, after a student finishes a book, he or she fills out the book spine with the title and author. We're going to start a trail under this sign and just keep it going until the end of the year. Who knows where it'll lead?!
Have a great week,
