WHAT YOU WILL need

 

Readers will need:

 

1. One copy of ALL OF THE ABOVE for each person who will be a designated reader during the day. If you want everyone in the school to read—provide books for all.​

​

2. Copy of the reading schedule for the day (downloadable version). 

​

Students will need: 

 

1. One or more tetrahedron shapes. You can print a free tetrahedron shape worksheet here or use Ellison die-cut ones. A die to cut out the shapes can be purchased from www.ellisoneducation.com (Item #A10351).

​

2. Geometric art worksheet printable version

 

3. Markers or colored pencils

 

4. Optional: Scotch tape and scissors can be provided, if you want students to assemble and build tetrahedrons during the day.

​

Other Preparation: 

 

1. Invite some surprise guests to read. High school theater students, coaches, local sports heroes, mayors, librarians, service staff, or your district superintendent are some fun possibilities. 

​

2. Some schools have pre-recorded one or two of the reading blocks using surprise guest readers. These video recordings can be played in classrooms to replace an in-person reader.
