Targets for Today: I can improve my reading endurance. I can improve my reading fluency. I know strategies I can use before I begin reading -- to help myself read more efficiently and effectively.

Today’s  Agenda: 1. Quiet Individual Reading Time   Select a book to read and read quietly for about 20 minutes. Fill out your reading log.  Example   9-28-18  x "Grit" in Costco Magazine pp. 50-53.  Anyone can choose to develop grit which adds endurance to enthusiasm. 20  If you're absent, or were off-task during reading time, or didn't fill out your log, pick up a pink make-up sheet and do the homework. 2. Partner Fluency Practice.        Participate appropriately as both reader and listener.       Fill out your fluency graph for each time you read.  Example Date 9-28-18 9-28-18 Passage 101 101 Words Per Minute 143 (your own WPM) 153   (your own WPM) 3.
