After reading The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller, I was so motivated to ensure my students were reading every day. We can teach the best minilessons in the world, but if the kids don't have time to practice those strategies, they will never become the readers we strive for them to be.
For next year, the students will be filling out a card every time they complete a book. They will hang them on a ring on a bulletin board in the classroom. At the end of the year, they will tie the cards together with a ribbon and take home their finished books from fourth grade. The file can be downloaded below.
