Fiction is Fun!

3rd Grade Library Reading Program

All third graders are invited to join in the fun by reading fiction books and discussing the kind of fiction (genre or category) they are. Here’s what you do:

[pic] Read a grade-appropriate book from the fiction section of the library. You may also read your own books from home or the public library. Most grade level books will be at least 100 pages. If you are not sure, please ask Ms. Foster or your teacher. Books must be a “good fit” for you.

[pic] After each book read, fill out a Fiction Fact Genre form, have your parents sign it and turn it in to the library.

[pic] Read a book from each of the 5 genres below to receive a Happy Face stress ball and a certificate. If you read 2 extra books past the goal from the genres of your choice, you also receive a fun bendy pencil!

• Last day to turn in Fiction Genre Cards is Friday, February 27.

• We will have a Reading Celebration on March 2 at 8:00 in the cafeteria!

The 5 genres of fiction books you need to read are listed below. You must read one book from each genre to complete the program. Read 2 extra books from any fiction genre to receive extra prizes!

[pic] Fantasy – uses magical or unusual creatures

[pic] Mystery– solves a crime or puzzle and includes ghost stories

[pic] Science fiction – is about space and/or the future

[pic] Realistic fiction – a story that could really happen
