Whaaat?!
Who knew this book would help drive home the point of building stamina?
I often refer to building stamina, or in Spanish leer con vigor, to riding a bike. We can't just jump on a bike and expect to ride it like a pro right away. I ask kids to talk to their partners about how they first learned to ride a bike. Without fail, they all say how they had to practice and practice and practice.
Well, reading is just like riding a bike.
We can't read well just like that, we have to read and read and read. It's up to us if we want to be an eh-so-so reader or if they want to be a.... Super Reader!

And they all want to be Super Readers of course ;)
So what do we have to do to become a Super Reader?
Read, read, and read some more!
I cannot stress enough how important it is for kids to see themselves as readers!
This is why it's so important for kids to realize there are 3 ways to read a book. Struggling readers can read the pictures or retell the story, which are both very important for comprehension.

To start building stamina, I use our Treasures reader. Students are familiar with the stories, they're familiar with the 3 ways to read a book, and are set to go.
My kiddos found many places to read...
