Mystery Readers!

We welcomed our first Mystery Reader into our classroom this week! It was such a blast to have a parent with us. Students heard two picture books and then spent some time reading in the classroom while our guest listened and interacted with them! We are so lucky to have parents and family members that want to visit with us during our school day to share their love of reading.





About Mystery Readers: 
One day per week for the coming months, we will host parents, grandparents, siblings, etc. to bring in and read aloud a favorite picture book to the class. Students will love having a family member as the class Mystery Reader and all of our students will benefit from an adult sharing their love of reading. Because this is a mystery, all information must be kept TOP SECRET from your child, including the date you are coming and the picture book you will be reading. A week before you are scheduled to come in, I will send home a letter asking for five clues about yourself. These clues will be read to the class before your arrival to build suspense and keep the students guessing about who our Mystery Reader will be! If you need help choosing a book, I am happy to help. If you have not already signed up and would like to, please get in touch with me via email jdemmons@rsu26.org or send a SECRET note to school with your child!
