LFCIS is proud to be prioritizing independent reading to
support student development by launching:
Reading is Out of This World!
This initiative begins with incorporating 20 minutes of
independent reading in all ELA classrooms at least twice a
week. Students will have the option of borrowing books from
teacher’s classroom libraries, or bringing in their own. With
each book read, students will also be encouraged to complete
and submit a “book cover” which will feature a design that
includes, title, author, synopsis, rating, and review. Each “book
cover” submitted will be displayed in our “Galaxy of Reviews”
hallway on the first floor for all to see. As a further incentive,
students who complete three “book covers” will receive a special
Book Vending Machine Coin. This book vending machine was
purchased by the district and is now thankfully filled due to the
generous donation made by our current and last year’s PTO.
Students receiving the special coin will be able to visit the book
vending machine and make a selection that offers them an
opportunity to explore different genres, based on interest,
outside of the curriculum. We hope that our efforts this school
year will be an important step towards helping our students
develop a lasting love of reading!
