"Research shows that reading everyday is the best way to become a good reader and that the best readers practice everyday with books they've chosen." (The Daily 5-Boushey & Moser-p. 22)
I have created an environment where students know WHY we do things. This sense of urgency makes them want to do things even more because now they have a PURPOSE.
Part of the process was to practice our STAMINA. Once they learned what it was, we set a goal of 20 minutes per day. It took us a week, but we did it!!!! We now have STAMINA!!!
