Did you know that research has found that the singlemost method for improving student reading is to ...just read? How easy is that? In 3/4 S we love to read! Students have started to read at home most week nights as part of their reading homework for a designated length of time. I am encouraging them to find a book that they love and give it a go.They may take books from the class or school library, or read from books at home or public library, too. It isn't necessary to record the book title or details about the reading time for me.  Happy Reading everyone!
