Reading for Stamina

We are working on reading with stamina. We have learned that stamina is the ability to do something for a long time without getting tired or giving up. We are working towards our goal of being able to read, focused and without stopping or pausing, for 50 minutes. We have been successful with 10 minutes so far. Next week we will make it to 15, I just know it! When we read for stamina we concentrate on REAL reading vs. fake reading. We talk about sitting up, reading to understand, rereading parts that are hard or that we missed because of daydreaming (everybody does it!). Encourage your child to practice reading for stamina at home. Our comprehension skills will soar!
