Scenario:

The 3-2-1 Strategy Reading Log would be required daily homework. Each day, a small portion of the class would be asked to use their reading log from the previous night to discuss something they read at home. Using their responses to the first two questions (what they learned and what they found interesting about their reading), students would be able to provide a short summary of what they read. Students would then read aloud the question they wrote down after reading and what they discussed with their parent or parents after reading. In this discussion, students would explain how their parent helped them answer the question they had and what additional resources, if any, they used to discover the answer to the question. This would be used to initiate a discussion with the class about the subject of their reading. This routine would be repeated daily until all students are able to share the reading experience they had with their parent or parents at least once a week. Every four weeks, with progress reports and report cards, a parental involvement report would be sent home. This report would detail the number of completed 3-2-1 Strategy Reading Logs the child has turned in during that period, as well as data on their child’s fluency and comprehension. A completed 3-2-1 reading log would have to have the following information (for each of the four days of the week, Monday through Thursday): Student name, date, name of literature, author, 3 things the child learned, 2 interesting items about the reading, 1 question the child still had about what they read, parent signature, and parent reflection about discussion.
