100 Book Challenge® en Español Teacher Handbook
The Teacher Handbook is a vital and comprehensive resource for any teacher using 100 Book Challenge® en Español. The handbook provides blackline masters, instructions for implementation of every aspect of the program, tips for addressing common concerns, detailed descriptions of the book leveling system, and materials to encourage parent participation.
100 Book Challenge® en Español Conference Notebook
The Conference Notebook is the heart of the 100 Book Challenge® en Español standards-based formative assessment system. The teacher maintains a standards-based assessment/coaching guide appropriate to that student’s current level of reading proficiency. Teachers learn to assess, diagnose, and instruct each student using a standards-based formative assessment framework while the student reads books he or she has chosen to read.
ENIL: Evaluación del nivel independiente de lectura
American Reading Company’s ENIL provides core national standards for reading proficiency, grades PreK–8. The ENIL allows educators to determine a student’s current level of reading proficiency in Spanish, diagnose areas of strength and weakness, formulate an Action Plan for next steps, and track progress on a daily basis using books the students has chosen to read.
Students need to know where they stand in relation to grade-level expectations. The ENIL will help teachers show students where they are, where they should be, and what skills and behaviors lie in between. Through regular conferences, teachers and students outline and track a course of correction, acceleration, or maintenance for each student and his or her family.
Step-by-Step Guide to Readers’ Workshop
100 Book Challenge® Readers’ Workshop can be the center of your literacy curriculum, or it can be the “teach for transfer” piece of your existing basal program. Either way, 100 Book Challenge workshops ensure that students not only learn how to read proficiently, but learn to be avid readers.
The Readers’ Workshop interconnects demonstration and direct instruction with independent practice and assessment. This 25-page book provides a step-by-step guide for implementing a successful 100 Book Challenge Readers’ Workshop.
On-Target Badge
Each 15 minutes of reading practice counts as one Step. Students are expected to read for 11 Steps a week, for a minimum of 400 Steps (100 hours) per year. Teachers, administrators, and office staff, wear the weekly target number of Reading Steps around their necks. This simple gesture makes it clear that every student in the school is expected to do enough reading practice every day to get good at it. It is soon very clear which students in the school are not getting enough reading practice in time to do something about it.
Spanish Skills Cards on a Ring
Have the entire range of 100 Book Challenge® en Español Skill Cards at your fingertips! This set includes all 100 Book Challenge en Español Skill Cards making it easy to locate the skills necessary at any reading level. The set is laminated and collated onto a ring for quick reference.
Incentive Reading Folders
100 Book Challenge Reading Folders keep your students organized for Independent Reading. Everything they need for reading practice travels with them throughout the day and goes home each night. Students start with the basic Blue folder. As each reader completes 100 Steps of reading, he or she is awarded a new 100-Step Red folder. Students who have not completed the requisite amount of reading practice continue with the aging Blue folders. Teachers and volunteers can see at a glance who needs extra reading practice time. The color folders provide a Karate Belt system for monitoring and rewarding student effort.
100 Book Challenge Smart Start modules include folders to take 30 students to 100, 200, 300, and 400 Steps. Additional incentive folders up to 1,000 Steps are available à la carte.
Milestone Awards
Milestone Awards are presented to students by the school principal in recognition of effort-based achievements in reading. Each gold medal has the 100 Book Challenge logo on one side and the reading milestone on the other. Colorful ribbons represent which milestone the reader has reached.
Incentive Kits
Rewards for Readers Who Achieve
Research shows that extrinsic rewards help students sustain behavior that is initially challenging but with experience becomes intrinsically rewarding. Your avid readers don’t need the prizes, but students not used to reading at home every night on their own do. The Smart Start Module includes a package of small incentives to get all of your readers started on lots of reading every day.
