When I was in Fourth Grade, I remember my teacher having a themed bulletin board. At the end of each month, we would have a decorating contest for this giant cut-out of the character Mrs. Wishy Washy.

Grade levels would have a competition to see who could build the tallest Book Tower. For each book they read, they would place a book spine on a display.

I think it's really important for classroom teachers to spend a little time reading aloud to their students--books that really grab the students' attention. Kids can see how important and exciting reading can be. Sometimes kids can be started on a book series that way.

To make these ideas more district-wide, could we team up w/ the high school & middle schools to have reading buddies or something like that via Zoom?

We would open the building for a family night. Teachers would select a book, dress as the character, and "perform" for a small audience. We complete 20-30 minute rotations. Some smaller books would have an activity that went along with the story.

We have also done this via Facebook Live!

In Wichita we did do the SSR in the elementary classrooms. In our grade level this was reserved for the last 15 minutes of the day following our Reading Tier time. This allowed students to read a personally selected book. Teachers would then call a student to the side and listen to that student read, making notes on fluency and accuracy.

In the past, we have had various people visit classrooms to share a book with the class.  This included the principal, parents, "community helpers," district-level people, etc.  (That won't work right now, obviously). This could be done over Zoom--yes!
