The children have been working on building their stamina while reading independently. First we needed to discuss the meaning of the word:
Your child should be able to tell you what their job is during "Read to Self".
1. Stay in one spot.
2. Get started reading right away.
3. Read quietly.
4. Read the whole time.
5. Build your stamina!
I actually use a stopwatch and stop it when someone starts talking to a friend, or if one of the students becomes restless and/or moves out of his/her spot.
Children are able to choose wherever they would like to read as long as they are not too close to a peer. Here they are, trying hard to build their stamina.
The children have reached the 12 minute mark! YAY!
