Independent reading is an important part of a child’s education, so important, in fact, that it is part of the Oklahoma State Standards for students to be reading independently with books that they enjoy. It’s important that students are able to select books that interest them so that they will be motivated to practice reading every day. Students can do just that at the Bison Reading Site: https://hwyers.wixsite.com/bisonreading/reading

What can parents do to help students?

  • Help your student explore the sites on this page and find a book to read that interests him/her.

  • Set a goal with your student to read daily for 20 minutes.

  • Complete the Reading Log: When your student completes the reading log on the website, he/she will be entered in the monthly prize drawing.

  • Help your student with reading comprehension with these strategies: SADLER ArticleReading Rockets
