Mountainpatriot Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I am reading the WTM and it talks about scheduling time for free reading. Is this reading that is picked by the student and may or may not have anything to do with the history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in TN Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Free reading is usually selections chosen by the student. When my dd was younger (middle school) I would create a list of books for her to choose from if I wanted to make sure she read certain books. I also had a book basket which contained selections for whatever time period in history we were reading that she could choose from too. Now that she is almost 17 and has so much reading for school already, I try to limit the number of books that are "required" free reading. If I really want her to read a book, I just assign it or ask her to read it. But I try to leave her free reading entirely up to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 "Free reading" in our home is reading outside of required texts and books. My dc regularly do at least one hour a day in the younger grades. This is our minimum goal in high school as well, though there are some days where there are just too many curricular/sports/extracurricular/work commitments.
