That has really helped get our older kids to take getting a library book more seriously. I also started genre badges in 3rd -5th grades. If a student reads 2 books in a genre, they get a badge for that genre. If they earn 6 badges, they will be invited to a party at EOY. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Sue Meegan</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Hoover school</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Calumet City</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Apr 4, 2018, at 2:57 PM, Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large">So planning for next year and after reading The Book Whisperer and lots of discussion we would like to eliminate reading logs.

What do you do with your ELA teachers to encourage students to read? What grades are given for reading and how is it accessed? </div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="4">Deanne Guccione, Librarian</font><div><font color="#000000" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="4">Pleasant Plains Middle School </font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="4"><a href="mailto:dguccione@ppcusd8.org" target="_blank">dguccione@ppcusd8.org</a></font></div><div><br></div><div>"Winning is not always about shining the brightest.
