Radez Summer Reading Program
End of the Year Kickoff
We kick off the program each year with a meeting before school ends.
This is a time for students to hear more about the program and choose books.
In the past students have decorated a book box or bag and created a bookmark.
Book Clubs
Students are grouped together roughly based on reading needs.
Each group reads 1-2 books together throughout the summer.
They meet together in order to discuss the books.
A teacher facilitates each book club group.
Book Exchange
The basics of the program is a book exchange.
Students are able to check out 2-5 books at each meeting time.
They can read these on their own time and can return them at any meeting.
Students pick their own books based on interests.
Read Alouds and Activities
Each meeting includes a read aloud, activities, book exchange, and book clubs.
We have stuck to themes for our meetings.
Summer 2017 was growth mindset and summer 2018 is fractured fairy tales.
Typically we have met 4-6 times throughout the summer.
