Mystery Readers
What is a Mystery Reader?
Mystery Readers are special guests who come to our classroom to
read a story to students.
Who are Mystery Readers?
Mystery Readers can be parents, grandparents, older siblings, or
other relatives. Occasionally mystery readers may be staff members
from Helke Elementary.
When do Mystery Readers come?
Mystery Readers come to our classroom on Wednesdays at 12:30.
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 any one 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?
The Mystery Reader program will not begin until November. Miss
Uhl and Mrs. Sucher will send home a sign up sheet at the end of
October or you can let them know through email that you would like
to be involved in this program. 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. If you
don't have a book, Miss Uhl or Mrs. Sucher will be glad to have one
for you. The week prior to your visit, Miss Uhl and Mrs. Sucher 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 5 clues that
start 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!
