Building Our Reading Stamina

Has your student been talking about their reading "stamina" at home?  I hope so!  Everyday we have been working on building our silent reading stamina. Students must have multiple opportunities each day to practice reading silently.  Each day we have been improving and we are up to 8 minutes.  This is great!  By the end of the year, our goal is to get to 30 minutes.  I know we can do it.  Below are some pictures of the students working on their stamina.  Look how dedicated they are.
