I'm happy to say that reading has gone very well this year.
So far this year, my 12 first grade students have read 92 books, 7 of which were full-length novels, and 6 of which were juvenile novels (often more than a hundred pages).
Here is an image showing the library record for a second grade student.
These are only 2 pages of a four-page record and shows only about 60 percent of the 71 books she has read during the past nearly two years. She began in the NELP program in April 2006, reading Oxford Reading Tree Stage 1, and has since progressed to much longer books, such as Nate the Great by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat (80 pages), Monster Eyeballs by Jacqueline Wilson (47 pages), and The Little Witch Goes to school by Deborah Hautzig.
I've been really proud of this student's progress in my class.
