For Early Literacy - informational handout for parents/guardians/families - why it is important to allow children to look at picture in a book.

Help your students get their mind set for intentional, independent reading. Glue the sheets to a file folder and laminate. When students sit down for independent reading they put the books they WILL read on the green circle. Once they finish a book they can move it to the red circle. You can easily walk around and see their progress. At the end have students reflect on books they read or take a book from the red circle and share with a partner.
