Student Testimonials: A group of selected students in our district were asked to respond to the following questions about the reading and writing.
- Who are some of your favorite authors?
Andrew Clements, Mo Willems, David Adler, Peg Kehret, J.K. Rowling, Dr. Seuss, Roald Dahl, Lemony Snicket aka Daniel Handler, and Kate DiCamillo.
I love to read because we can take a break and get to new and exciting places. Sometimes you can take a new adventure and sometimes we read to relax.
- What can I do to become a better reader?
You can pay close attention to the story and develop a picture in your head. It is also important to question what you read and predict what might happen next.
- Do you read everyday? When do you read outside of school?
Yes, we have to read for 20 minutes outside of school every day. Usually I read before bedtime too, because it helps me relax.
