I love getting the parents of my students into the classroom. Our weekly Mystery Reader is a great way to do just that!
Each week, I have a parent or grandparent come in and read a story to the class on Friday. During the week, I give 3 clues as to who the mystery reader might be. I give the clues on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. By Friday, we have figured out who the mystery reader is and so excited to see them and hear them read a favorite story to us! Many of our mystery readers bring in a little something for the class that connects to the story, but that is definitely not something we expect!
This is a favorite part of the week for my students. I'm attaching the form I send home at the beginning of the year. I grabbed it off of the web years ago and tweaked it a bit to fit my needs. Feel free to do the same!
Don't forget to enter my first giveaway! Go HERE for the details!
Mystery Reader
I thought about doing a mystery reader next year, and your document will be super helpful. I like that you have them write their own clues! Thank you so much for sharing this.
