Students show spots, more for reading

By Amy Wenger Correspondent WAKARUSA Ordinarily, folks might become alarmed to hear children wandering around declaring that IF seeing spots. But for the jtfn£K scholars of Wakarusa SEpnentary, that wasn't cause for conthis past week in fact, their ANpWrs were quite thrilled. ijpDuring the week of March 29 until jjjTpril 1, the students and staff celebrated "101 Reasons To Read," a special week of reading events designed to keep children interested and intrigued 9y the concept of recreational reading. theme centered on the popular Spney children's film, "101 Dalmatians," hence the spots. /‘Bach day, the kids were encouraged 1$: dress differently in accordance with the suggestion of that particular day. On Monday, the idea was to wear black and white, with Tuesday being the day to "wear spots." Sporting shirts with collars was the plan for Wednesday, while Thursday's apparel was to feature something they could read. Individual classrooms featured different activities outside of the normal schedule to focus on reading, such as "drop everything and read," when students stopped their tasks at hand and scooped up a book. Other happenings involved die entire school, such as the contest in which pictures of dogs were shown on the school's public address system monitors, with clues to help students guess which staffer the pet belongs to. Another part of the weeklong challenge included having children spend an adequate amount of time in reading after school, with the appropriate time goals set for each grade level. When a student met the established goal for that particular day, a parent or guardian signed a "ticket" confirming that the reading minutes were achieved. Then, the following day, the tickets were turned in, and the student was rewarded with an incentive prize. Appreciating the benefits of reading is something that can be realized at any age, but it takes on a special significance for the younger kids as well. Noted first-grade teacher Christine Ramer, "In first grade, we really need to practice to become better readers. It's so important to give kids time to just read, read, read, and I think that is so helpful in allowing them to learn." The teachers are hopeful that this exercise in building enthusiasm toward reading will carry on well after the festivities have ended.
