Reading Homework BINGO Board

Both today and yesterday students have had the opportunity to ask questions regarding the Quarter 4 Reading Homework.  I've had a few questions regarding the Quarter 4 Reading Homework from parents as well so I wanted to address a few points:

  • The reading BINGO assignment is not the quarter 4 project - it is reading homework for the quarter
  • Because it is reading homework, no additional worksheets/responses/assignments will be sent home for homework (unless it is reading work that was not finished in class)
  • An expectation for the year has been that every night students are required to read 30 minutes (or a weekly total of 150 minutes); therefore, the student "reading/homework load" should be staying the same - just the types of books students are choosing will change
  • In my classroom, I told students that the middle square (N3) is a free space
  • Students are more than welcome to use any books from the classroom library!
  • Students should have one BINGO completed on each of the due dates listed in the assignment description 
  • Depending on how students get the BINGO for each of the due dates, the number of books read/response logs may vary
  • An assignment description along with handouts can be found on by clicking the following link - Reading BINGO Homework 
The purpose of this assignment is to make sure students are reading at home and to really push them to explore genres, authors, and topics that they might not usually try!

As always - please let me know if you have any questions!
