RAVE READING CONTEST 2007-2008

Dear Parents,

The Sixth Annual Rave Reading Contest is underway!  How much can your child read from October 17th through March 14th?

Below are the Reading Goals for each grade. Click on the grade level for the appropriate form.  Please submit the forms to Mr. Straube or Mrs. Titorenko as soon as your child completes them.

Grades Pre-K and K: Read, or be read to, 40 books and make a list of their titles.

Grade 1: 500 total pages and write a brief sentence or two telling what the book was about.

Grade 2: 1000 total pages.  Write two or three sentences about the book.

Grade 3: 1500 pages and write two or three sentences about the book.

Grade 4: 2000 pages.  Students will write several sentences about the book and a separate paragraph about a theme, setting, or character they found to be interesting.

Grade 5: 2500 pages.  Students will write several sentences about the book and a separate paragraph about a theme, setting, or character they found to be interesting.

One large star for each student who participates in the contest will be placed on the wall of the LMC (Library Media Center).  Running totals will be noted for all grades.

All reading activities in class including book reports, Accelerated Reader, research, or other reading assignments will count towards the reading goal.  Remember, the contest begins  October 17th and ends March 14th.   Please encourage your student to participate and have fun reading!

Paperwork to track your child’s reading is included in this web citation.  If you are unable to print out the forms for your child, please contact Mr. Straube or Mrs. Titorenko in the Library.

Good luck, and get involved!
