Popcorn Reading: Idea #365

Since today is my last day posting on this blog, I thought it would be appropriate to share the idea of popcorn reading. Popcorn reading isn't affective for everyone, but for some it truly is. When you do popcorn reading choose a text that is a little longer and make sure to have a group of four or more students. 

WHAT TO DO... One student begins reading the text until they decide to stop. They can stop at the end of a page/paragraph/sentence or even in the middle of any of those. When they stop, they are to call out a name of someone else in the group to begin reading where they left off. It is a fun listening activity and a great way for teachers to see how students are improving in their reading skills. If they do a good job reading, maybe you could reward them with a tea party or something!

Thank you so much for looking at my blog! I have learned a lot this year and hope to some day use all of these ideas. Check out my new blog I have started with my sisters at the following website: http://sevenflakesisters.blogspot.com/ . Enjoy!
