1. You must read a paper book.
2. When reading workshop is being implemented, you must read the entire time.
3. You must read a book that you want to read! There are WAY too many great books out there for you to be reading a book you don’t LOVE!
4. Reading is thinking. You may not disturb anyone while we are in our reading zones.
5. Distractions include talking to me or your peers, sharpening pencils, getting notebook paper, asking to go to the bathroom/get a drink/go to the nurse, etc., to name a few.
6. Recognize when you are drifting away from your book. It happens to me ALL THE TIME! In fact, I guarantee it happens to me more than it happens to you! There is no better feeling than being totally engrossed in a book. It allows you to escape, away from any problems, stressor, challenges, etc. Make it happen EVERY time you read!
7. It is important that you are comfortable while in your reading zone. As I get to know you as readers, we will discuss how we can utilize the space in the room. Until then, we will all read at our desks.
