We also do Prime Time Sleep Overs for our 3rd and 4th grade students to challenge them to read more. Parent volunteers spend the night to help me or spend a few hours reading with the students, or come to serve breakfast in the morning. We also have high school students come to help by reading or doing dance demos. We have instituted a schoolwide Reading Rally. Through PTO funds, and donations, we are able to offer hundreds of items to students.
All students read from a vast selection of books.
This is done 4 times per year. Teachers often go together and buy a limousine ride to the local McDonalds as one of the prizes to bid on. There have been as many as five of these trips throughout the noon hour. I am looking for information on how you figure how many books per child to use, how to document, publicize, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
