What is a Mystery Reader?
Mystery Readers are special guests who come to our classroom to read a story to students. Mystery Readers can be parents, grandparents, older siblings, or other relatives. Occasionally, Mystery Readers may be staff members from Coralwood.
When do Mystery Readers visit?
Mystery Readers come to our classroom on Fridays at 1:50 p.m. However, if a Mystery Reader needs a different time to suit their schedule, we'll be glad to accommodate!
Why use the Mystery Reader program?
Students love to see their parents, grandparents, and special friends get involved in our classroom. The Mystery Reader program allows anyone who wants to become involved because it requires little time, but the memories will last forever for the surprised students!
Where do I go to sign up to be a Mystery Reader?
You can send us a request via email for the link to our sign up sheet or follow the Mystery Reader link in the navigation menu to your left. Your child will be SO excited that you participated, but remember to keep it "top secret" until your big day arrives!
How does the Mystery Reader program work?
Once you've signed up for a date to come read to our class, you can start thinking of a book you would like to bring to read that relates to our topic(s) for current the week. However, you are more than welcome to bring one of your child's favorite stories or borrow a book from our class library. The week prior to your visit, we will send you a reminder, along with a request for five clues to read to the students the day of your visit. There should be five clues that are general and become more specific. By the fifth clue, your child should be able to guess that you are the special mystery reader for the day!
