Reading Data

Our classroom Reading data

Students have tracked their reading data throughout the school year. At the start of each month they set a reading goal, which at minimum, should be 720 minutes. That reflects the 30 minutes of daily outside of school reading they are expected to complete, 6-days a week.

At the start of each month we determine how many collective minutes they have read for the previous month and how many different books have been read.

Every student contributes to our classroom data and this helps reinforces the value and importance we place on reading.
