"If we show students how to embrace reading as a lifelong pursuit and not just a collection of skills for school performance, we will be doing what I believe we have been charged to do: create readers." ~Donalyn Miller (Author of The Book Whisperer and Reading in the Wild)


My goal for students this year is to foster and encourage a love of reading! Each student will have a goal of reading 40 books this school year. (Don't freak out!!) 

We will be learning about many different genres and I will be asking students to read at least one book in each of the different genres in order to help them explore and discover what they love.

I am pleased to tell you that I have enrolled our students on a website called BiblioNasiumWhere kids flex their reading muscles. BiblioNasium connects educators, parents, and the kids to create a reading community that will encourage your child to read more.

Kids can keep track of their favorite books, log their daily reading, and win virtual awards. I can setup our class’ recommended and required reading lists, as well as, assign reading challenges. We will be using the site to log completed books and write reviews.

Although you do not need to join as a parent, there is also a parent component and you and your child can access BiblioNasium from home. As a parent you will then be able to see my reading lists, monitor your child's independent reading and even set up family reading challenges. If you wish, you may also want to give your child permission to connect online with friends to see what others are reading, to read book reviews, and to receive and recommend books.

I will be providing student log in information soon. Feel free to visit the site at https://www.biblionasium.com
