How many minutes can our school read in a week?

The countdown is on to celebrate The Reading Hour on Saturday, August 24th.  Last year we had lots of fun wearing our pajamas to school for The Reading Hour.  This year we have a much bigger challenge….

If we add up the minutes everyone at our school reads at home and at school for a week what would the total number of minutes be???

Are YOU ready for our  Reading Hour Challenge?

Pocket Watch

We will be reading: Saturday, August 17th – Saturday, August 24th

All you need to do is your usual reading and then record the number of minutes you read.  In your classroom, your teacher will record when your class listens to a novel or picture book; does shared reading or when you Drop Everything and Read.

You will receive a sheet to record your reading and you can also print it from here if you need to Student Reading Minutes

How many minutes will YOU read?

How many minutes will your CLASS read?

How many minutes will our SCHOOL read?

  1. Hi Mrs H

    You’re welcome to “copy” our idea! Can you link back to our post when you do so we can see how many minutes your school reads for…

    I can’t wait to see how many minutes we can all read for a week!

  2. Dear Miss Y,

    What a super idea I just love it!
    I can’t wait to read just how many minutes you all clock up. Somehow I get the feeling it will be huge.

    This is such an awesome way to get your wonderful students to read and a fun way too.

    Happy reading Miss Y and students.

    Cheers AA 🙂

  3. Hi AA

    I hope it’s going to be a fun way to celebrate the Reading Hour at our school. The students are excited about it. I’m going to have to call on our mathematicians to help with the adding up…I’m good with words, but not as good with numbers!

    Stay tuned…
