Mrs. Krumel - Reading Grades 7 & 8

We are so fortunate, at Schuyler Middle School, to be a part of the Scholastic Read 180 Community. We are dedicated to helping students become lifelong readers, as well as lifelong learners.

Here are some things parents can do at home to help students become lifelong readers:

• The Daily Read: Make reading a daily activity by reading to, or with, your child for 20 minutes every day.
• Fast and Fun Reads: Use magazines, newspapers, comic books, recipes, TV schedules, travel guides, and road signs as reading opportunities, wherever you are and whatever you and your child are doing.

• The Movie or the Book: Rent videos or DVD's on a topic that your child is interested in. Find books on a similar topic.
• Read and Ride: Listen to books on tape or CD while traveling by car. Or bring a personal player with earphones for your child to listen to books while on a train or plane.
• Read and Chat: Talk about what your child is reading. Ask questions about the characters or what happens in the story.

Happy reading!
