On Friday, we will kick-off of our first annual One School One Book event! We are so excited to begin this national event here at Bodkin to promote family reading and a love of reading in our students!
This reading campaign will coincide with the National Screen-Free week, an initiative designed to promote exercise, movement, and interaction instead of TV, videogames, and cell phone use. We hope you and your family will join in the fun and partake in this reading experience with us! See below for a few FAQs.
1. What is One School One Book?
One School One Book is a school-wide literacy initiative to promote the importance of family reading and reading aloud. Through the generous support of our PTA, every student will receive a copy of the book chosen for this year. Families are asked to read the assigned chapters each night. Each morning, there will be trivia questions based on the previous night’s reading. Students with correct answers will be entered into raffles each day. In addition to trivia questions, students will participate in discussion questions in their classrooms and during lunch.
2. What is the book title?
The book title will be revealed at a kick-off assembly this Friday. The first few chapters of the book will be read aloud to the students to get them started.
3. How do we participate?
A calendar with assigned chapters will be sent home in the book. Keep up with the chapters each night and your child will be ready for the conversations at school the following day.
We will update you throughout this shared reading experience with more posts on this blog. Stay tuned!
