Continue to build stamina Reading marathon days Students read for longer uninterrupted blocks of time (45 – 60 minutes) Teacher uses this time to check in with students Variety of genres in student book boxes (include test-type texts)

RUNNERS Strategy R – Read the title and predict what the text will be about. U – Underline the important words in the questions. N – Notice numbered paragraphs. N – Now read the selection. E – Engage with the text by annotating. R – Reread the questions and eliminate the wrong answer. S – Select the best answer and prove it!
