R4 Reading
Read-Relax-Reflect-Respond
This is called the R4 approach, which gets the students' reading at home with the parents involvement. During the Read & Relax period they find a comfortable spot at their home and read. They want their 4th graders to at least do 80 minutes of reading a week, have them record it in a log and have their parents initial each time they do. Then during the Reflect & Respond period they are given prompts to to think about their reading and maybe learn why the author might have written that. I think this is a pretty effective way of getting your students and their parents invovled in their reading. Then having them respond helps you to see how much they understand what they read and if they comprehend it.
