Reading Clubs

Dear Thousand Page Club families (K-2),

Please use the “BY TITLE” submission form ONLY. If you have the old ‘by month’ form bookmarked, please note that that form is no longer going to be available. If you already entered pages before “by month” don’t worry, the pages will count for this month (Oct-Nov.)

Thousand Page Reading Club:
Fill out your reading log online!

Olympic Reader Club:
Fill out your reading log online!

The Olympic Readers Club will have their 2nd prize day in March.  Students who have read and logged at least 1000 total pages by Feb. 29th, will be eligible for a prize.  Hard copy reading logs can be placed in the Olympic Readers Club mailbox in the office.

Keep reading!

October Thousand Page Club Results

Thank you everyone for utilizing the online reading clubs forms this month.  It seems > 40 students utilized the form this month (hope to see grow next month) reading over 800 books and over 38,000 pages!  There may be more result via the paper forms but those will take longer to process.

One suggestion which will help us save a little time on the data analysis is please use the same name and email for the online form for every entry (email less important).  There were several cases where one might enter ‘John Doe’ and then ‘Doe John’ or ‘Joe Doe’.  We total the number of pages by the student name so keeping it consistent will save time.

Thanks also to Carolina for her continued hard work for this club.

Keep reading!


Dear Madera Families,

Many of you are regular participants in Madera’s reading clubs, Olympic Readers and the Thousand Page Club. These clubs are a great way to encourage students to read daily.

This year we’ve expanded our reading clubs to include an online submission form. This will allow students and parents to submit their information throughout the month as books are completed rather than having to maintain a list for a month at a time. To participate in the reading clubs online, go to
http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/HP0cV1dMlf79Cb0bGI
for Olympic Readers (Grades 3-6)

or http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Nw2M0Ap4RUX73nmy
for Thousand Page Club (K-2)

and fill in the form. After submitting the required information, you will automatically be emailed a confirmation, which will include the information you just submitted in case you would like to keep track of your child’s reading at home as well.

If you wish to continue with the traditional paper forms, they are still available. A monthly form will be included in your child’s blue folder. Simply print the form, fill it out, and turn it in by the due date each month for your child to receive credit for the books he or she reads.

If you have any questions, please contact Carolina for Thousand Page club
concerns, or Tracey for Olympic Readers club.
Thank you,
Carolina and Tracey

    Thanks!

    Tracy, would you prefer I not have the students fill the logs out as part of their homework packet?

    Hi…. I have a question! I’ve been logging my child’s reading online per finished book. Is that suitable?

    I still need to enter September’s reading. How do I do that?

    I love the idea of a paperless Thousand Page Club; however, I’m wondering if there is a way to have a login to pull up our “account” and therefore a) show the child all the books that have been read and b) more importantly, avoid the time-consuming task of typing in teacher, child’s name, email for each book read. Often we’ll read a couple books at a time, so it is tedious to have log each one and input repetitive information. Thanks!

    • Hi Stephanie,

      Yes – I know it’s a pain! Unfortunately, creating logins / accounts tracking is a major undertaking, outside of the capabilities of the site in its current form, and there isn’t a 3rd party site (that I’ve seen, at least – if you find one, let us know!) that we could use that would integrate with the reading club. The closest thing would be something like goodreads.com. There should be a setting in your browser’s memory (at least in firefox) where you can type the first letter of something you entered previously on a form and it will show you a list below the form field. That should save you a little time.

      Thanks for your feedback,

    Hello,

    I’m a bit unclear about a few things.
    Are the 1,000 pages to be read each month? And, if the log is not turned in before the end of the month, are those books not counted?
    Thank you.

      Hi Francisco,
      To become a member you have to reach the 1,ooo pages. Afer that “You are a member” and every month when you turn in your log (it doesn’t matter how many pages) you will get a prize. If the log is turned in late (I always send a message about the due date)those pages will count for the following month.

      TPC.

      • Francisco says:

        Thank you for the prompt response Carolina!
        One more follow up question…where can we verify how many pages have been officially logged or “recorded”?
        I’m not sure that our log for August-September was accounted for since it was not turned in before the end of the month.
        Thank you.
        Francisco

    Hi,

    I mistakenly used the online form (by book) from last year for the months of August and September.
    I just entered those months (and October’s) using this year’s form (by month).
    Do they still count? or should have I entered all those August and September pages under October?

    Thanks for the great job,
    E

  16. Carolina Mejorada says:

    If you want to verify how many pages have been officially logged or “recorded” let me know and I will be more that happy to email you the total. We can not post a list of Student’s names with number of pages.

  17. Carolina Mejorada says:

    Esteban,
    If you used the online form (by book) from last year for the months of August and September and this month under the “by month” form they will count as well. From now on we will only use the “BY BOOK” form (last years). The pages will be count!!!

    Does anyone know what is going on with the Olympic Readers club this year? My 4th grader keeps logging his books in, (online form) but has not yet received any prize. He has certainly read far more than required reading, so just wondering. I will have him stop recording books if it never took off this year, as it’s one more thing among many he needs to do! Thanks

    • Hi Tracey,
      I was wondering when the next prize time will be. I’ve heard that there’s going to be icecream for some kids. What is the required amount of pages to get to the icecream party? My daughter enjoys this program alot, she’s been doing this since kindergarten.
