Readers Are Leaders!

Kids Who Read Succeed!


Hey kids, do you want to do better in school? Do you want to visit outer space, solve crimes, travel the world? You can do all that and more when you read!!!

Reading, like anything else, takes practice. Here’s all you do:

1. Grab your book, a pencil, and some sticky notes (like Post-It Notes ®)

2. Find a comfy, well-lit seat in a quiet area

3. Set a timer for at least 20 minutes


As you read, be sure to:

1. Think about what’s going on in the story as you read each chapter or section:

o Who is the most important character?

o What are some other characters?

o What is the problem?

o How are they trying to solve it?

o Are they successful? Why/not?

o Is this book like other books you’ve read? How is it different?

o Have you had similar experiences as the characters?

o Where does the story take place?

o What is the author trying to tell you?

2. Picture the action in your head (visualize)

3. Take notes if you are going to take a quiz/write a book report/discuss in class

4. Most importantly, enjoy the story!
