What is the Reading Time Zones Poster?
⌄
One page with a name line and a US map split into 4 main time zones, with a clock row showing 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00. A note explains that when it is 12:00 noon Eastern, it is 9:00 in the morning Pacific, and that Alaska and Hawaii have their own zones. The page ends with At 12:00 noon Eastern time, I would be reading.
Can I use the Reading Time Zones Poster at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 3rd Grade to 5th Grade National Reading Month resources are there?

What age are National Reading Month resources for?
⌄
These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these National Reading Month resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
