Genres Boost Reading Motivation
January 22nd, 2008
This quarter the second grade is working on reading from a variety of genres. Why, you may ask? The answer is simple- reading from a variety of genres increases students motivation to read. We all have our own reading identities- and because of that we enjoy different types of books. Sometimes second graders haven’t found the genre that captures their attention, and they just need a little guidance as to all the types of books that are avaible!
The goal consists of your child reading a book from a specific genre, and then writing a pie piece of information about the book. These pieces will come back to school and will be glued to your child’s “genre pie”. When all pieces are brought back, your child can attend the third quarter reading party. I will insert a link to the genre letter- they can go in any order- just read, write, and most importantly, have fun!
Happy Reading Second Grade!
