Dear Parent,
I am pleased to tell you that I have enrolled our students
on a website called BiblioNasium, Where kids flex their reading muscles.
BiblioNasium connects educators, parents, and the kids to create a reading
community that will encourage your child to read more.
Kids can keep track of their favorite books, log their daily
reading, and win virtual awards. I can setup our class’ recommended and required
reading lists, as well as, assign reading challenges.
Although you do not need to join as a parent, there is also
a parent component and you and your child can access BiblioNasium from home. As
a parent you will then be able to see my reading lists, monitor your child's
independent reading and even set up family reading challenges. If you wish, you
may also want to give your child permission to connect online with friends to
see what others are reading, to read book reviews, and to receive and recommend
books.
To help your child login from a home computer
From the top right-hand corner, select “Members sign in”,
Kid’s Sign in (it is their regular log in.
Username: first 5 letters of last name00____
Password: birthday (ex. 112003)
To Join as a parent
From the top right-hand corner, select “Join Us” and follow the instructions. You will first be asked to
provide your child’s username and password (see above). That will connect your
account to your child and to our classroom.
Together, with the stimulation of this website, I believe we
can motivate your child to read something different, something new, and
something more challenging. I hope you will encourage your child to use
BiblioNasium daily.
Sincerely,
Ms. Tollas
