Did you know only 53% of children are read to daily by a family member?
I cannot take credit for this idea- the amazing kindergarten team at my school shared this with me. But I will take credit for trying to spread this idea as far as possible! Scholastic Book Clubs has a book every month for only $1. Each grade level basically has their own to choose from, so this is for anyone! I send out a memo at the beginning of the year & parents who are interested in participating sign/return. I had 20 students in my class last year, so if a parent sent in $20 every student in my class got a book that month! So essentially I only needed half of my parents to participate in order to have ‘book a month’ all year. As the memos were returned, I assigned a month to the family. It is SO simple. No plot twists. (; My kids LOVED building their own library at home. I also added a label on the inside cover to let everyone know which family sponsored this book. My personal favorite are these Avery labels.
Wow! This seems like an awesome program for promoting reading in a fun and encouraging way! Well done!
Thank you so much! Such an easy way to help students build their own library. (:
