Reading Stamina Chart with Brain Breaks & Dance Parties

This chart was created to track the class' progress in building stamina for Read-to-Self or Independent Reading. As the class builds stamina, record it on an anchor chart, and have students record it on individual copies to stay engaged and accountable. This student copy of the chart could be kept in a reader's journal or notebook. The chart has encouraging pop song titles to the side. I thought it would be fun to celebrate each milestone along the way with a brain break or dance party to the songs listed. The chart is divided into two minute increments with an end goal of 30 minutes of independent reading time. I hope you and your students have fun reaching new independent reading stamina goals!
