Dear Eisenhower Families,
This week's newsletter headline is to acknowledge students who are exceeding their reading goals and quickly becoming members of our school's Century Book Club!
Research studies on reading have been around for many decades. They all point to the fact that students who read at least 20-minutes each night are exposed to at least 4,000 new words a year! Students who read
20-minutes a night average reading over 1 million words a year!
The Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 words.
Through a child's years (ages 5-18), children who DO NOT READ 20-minutes every night will only add about 13,000 new words to their vocabulary. This is based upon daily exposure to random print and conversation.
Through a child's years (ages 5-18), children who DO READ 20-minutes every night will add a minimum of 65,0000 new words to their vocabulary!
A 20-minute per night routine matters!
Most importantly, it sets your child up for future success and lifelong learning.
Students who read at least 20-minutes per night tend to score above the 90th percentile on standardized tests.
Students can always read more than100 books and turn in multiple log sheets that are linked below.

*You may also list the books on a sheet of paper.
Also, students who turn in completed log sheets will receive a special prize(s)!
We encourage parents to sit and read with their child. Students might need support decoding/sounding out words or help with understanding vocabulary words or elements in the story. Reading with your child counts as reading a book.
As always,
"Read, read, and read!"
Century Book Club Readers!
