Mighty Midas Reading Challenge
Superheros powered by books
There will be two components of the reading challenge. The SUPER BOOKWORM and a SUPER READER CHALLENGE.
Super Book Worm.
- Classes track reading minutes any way they would like.
- Starts Second week of school. August 3rd.
- Each class will have a weekly reading goal based on the following
K- should read 10 min a day x 5 days a week = 50 min. per week
1-3 grades should read 20 min a day x 5 days a week =100 min. per week
4-6 grades should read 30 min a day x 5 days a week = 150 min per week
Bonus: Off track reading counts, but is not calculated into the goals. Add
off track/holiday minutes to the first week back. Example Winter break will
be added to the week of January 4-8.
- There will be a Super Book Worm started near the office on the wall. Our goal is to add to the worm, as it grows it will wrap around the school. Students will be able to observe its growth as the school year progresses.
- Every class will get portions (circles) to add on to the worm. Classes earn the circles by making their weekly reading goals.
- Teachers will add minutes to a shared spreadsheet.
- The first week of every month, we will determine how many circles each class earned based on what is updated on the spreadsheet from the previous month. Example: August reading will be recognized the first week of September.
- Every month after the reading minutes are calculated, the top class will be recognized and earn a prize. There will be no need for writing out tickets.
- Circles will be added to the worm with the teacher's name on the front. Reminders will be sent to teachers to add reading minutes to the spreadsheet before the deadline.
- All teachers need to do is track students reading minutes, add weekly minutes to the spreadsheet and help collect the Super Reader Checklists from the following challenge. We take care of the rest.
Super Reader Challenge
- Every student will be given a checklist containing different categories of books.
- Students will have 12 weeks to read one book from every category.
- After the 12 weeks, students who read a book from every category will turn in the checklist, which must be signed by a parent. The students who turn in the checklist will earn a book worm bead for their lanyard and their name will be entered in for a drawing at the end of the 12 week period.
- Every 12 weeks there will be a small drawing for students who turned in the checklist.
- A new checklist will be given every 12 weeks.
- Lists are due by 12:00 on the day of the drawings.
