This year we have reading partners. MK chose them for us; once we have our partners we get to choose a book. When we have the book we to show it to MK she gives us the OK and writes it down on a big piece of paper so that everyone can see who’s reading what genre. Then we start reading. We have about two weeks to read the book. Each day we catch up with our reading partners to see where we are at, and then we make a plan for that night of how many pages to read. When we are done reading the book, we do a final project and we present it to the class. We read in partnerships because it teaches us to think creatively and understand the book on a deeper level. We have meaningful conversations about characters and get to share our point of view. It also lets us read slower and really understand the book and make connections so that we can look at it from a different perspective. We have really enjoyed this experience to know ourselves better as readers.
