Stamina Reading

When teaching procedures at the beginning of the school year, do not forget to teach students your expectations when they read quietly.  I explain to students that there is wow reading and oops reading.  Then we practice.  And practice.  And practice some more.  But it is totally worth it.  In the end, most of the students do improve on their stamina reading.  The few who do not get to meet with me in small group to go over expectations again.
