Note-I posted this on my blog a couple of weeks ago. What a wonderful response I got from my parents-I had to share! Many wrote in notes thanking me for doing this and giving an option for parents {and their little voracious readers}, still others said they’d keep on with what we were doing and they liked having the consistency. It’s all about understanding and give and take!
Original post: Why do I assign reading logs? Why do I use up my precious copy limit each and every week? Because I am required to! But what is the real impact on my students’ learning or reading skills? Minimal if any at all. I am a closet reading log hater. I just do not have time {or I do not allow for time} to check them each and every day. I do not hand out prizes for reading each night. They way I see it, kids who love to read…will.
Thus, the Reading Log Opt Out Form was born. I am sending this home tomorrow and here’s why.
Enough of my tirade. If anyone has any wonderful breakthroughs in reading homework land-lemme know!
