Reading Incentive Stickers

Second Grade

SSR is a very encouraged activity! Self-selected reading, shared, choral, or buddy reading are all brilliant ways to earn reading stickers for your child's reading chart. Our goal is to fill our reading chart and earn a fun-filled day of reading and fun! It is called a Read-a-Thon! All parents have to do is sign off on a piece a paper the name of the book and that your child did read it. Let's celebrate literacy!!!!
