SUMMARY:Stop Whining and Just Read With Me Already!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Stop Whining and Just Read with Me Already Reading Challenge! \nDo you have students that need to develop their vocabulary\, increase their reading fluency\, and comprehend text better? Why not create a connection with the home environment to inspire nightly reading? Research says the single most important activity a parent can do to increase comprehension is reading with their child. Have fun inspiring nightly reading with your class by joining the Connected Class Stop Whining and just Read with Me Already Challenge!  \nThis quick four-week challenge is simple to implement with the whole class.  To make it even more simple\, we will be sending out the weekly Learning Link emails for you that teach the parents creative ways to read with their child each night! The parents will be asked to read with their child for 20 minutes\, five times a week and sign off on a parent log each week. (We provide a reading log\, but if you have one already you can use that one.) \nRegistration Deadline March 16\, 2026 \nCHALLENGE DATES: March 23  – April 17\, 2026\nTARGET PARTICIPANTS: K-8 teachers with students who need to increase vocabulary\, fluency\, and comprehension. \nVisit this page to find all challenge information and resources:\nhttps://connectedclass.com/stop-whining-and-just-read-with-me-already/ \n\nDRAWING: Each time your class participates in a challenge\, you will be entered into our end-of-year drawing for a $500 gift card.
