Almost every day she goes to the book room during SSR. She "just finished" reading her book. If there are 30 minutes of reading time, she will spend 24 of them searching for just the right book. After all, she wouldn't want to waste her fake reading time on a book that wasn't the best.
She can read a 200 page book in just a day or two. In fact, she could make a speed reader look like he was in first grade. And she understands the book. She can tell you everything in the blurb. Whenever a teacher corners her and wants to know more details, she has a ready list of excuses, and then wants to go back to the book room to get a new book.
Unfortunately, this year has been a bad start for the Queen of Fake Reading. In Reading Workshop, she is expected to understand the book and the characters. She must use specific details to support her thoughts. She has to compare specific aspects of the book with her life. She has to discuss the setting and problems intelligently with references to the story to support her points.
My oh my, what will the Queen do? She has this fake reading thing down to a science. She is the master. BUT, she is in a foreign country where fake reading doesn't work. Stay tuned for further updates as we see how the Queen of Fake Reading responds to the challenges of Reading Workshop.

I fake read a lot. Like when I get into a boring part of my book. Also I fake read when I'm tired and I feel like going home or I just don't feel like reading. I don't fake read a whole lot but like I said sometimes I just don't feel like reading or I might not feel good or something like that.
I fake read when I do not get the book,if I am tried and if they are boring. I do not fake read if I like the book or if it's a mystery book.
Everyone fake reads don't try to hide it, It just means you are human. I use to fake read a lot but that never help me on my grades. So now most of the time I actually read books and read my school papers. But every now and then I fake read because I am at this really boring part. I love to read it is just sometimes it gets a little boring.
I have faked read twice in the past year. The first time was really embarrassing because I had to read aloud in class in the Science book and I had no idea where we were at in the book. The second time I had to write a paragraph about my book and I couldn't do it because I didn't really like it but I had to finish the book that we picked out so I didn't read it. Now I try to really read and not fake read by getting a book that really interests me.
Sometimes I fake read if the book is boring but some times when I really get into the book I read a lot and I forget what I'm really supposed to do.
When I fake read I usually am tired and all I want to do is just relax and not even be at school and I'm just staring at the pages in my book day dreaming about the weekend or when I don't have to go to school anymore.
Sometimes I fake read if the book is not very bad. Sometimes I don't know that I'm fake reading. This year I haven't faked reading. All the books I read this year I read them all. And when I get in a good book I can read forever.
I fake read most of last year because I could really care less. This year might be a little better because you are forced to read 30 to 45 minutes in Language arts. I was shocked when my Language arts teacher told the class that he fake reads. I was thinking that I have actually learned something today.Then I started to tell my self that everybody does it every once in a while.
I fake read when I been reading for a long time so I start to fake read. Everyone fakes reading at least once or twice in their life.
I admit that I fake read when I am tired of reading.
I don't know why people fake read anyway. I love to read and I love being outside. I put reading and being outside and put them together so then I don't fake read because I'm doing two things I love so I mix them up.
Everyone has fake read
Even I admit I have fake read at least once in the 5th grade. I didn't feel like reading so I didn't. When I fake read I would look around the room and just stare off into space.
Now that I am a 6th grader I know not to fake read because our teacher will get really mad. Also I can't because he asks our class to do reports or compare you to the main character in the book. So I say don't FAKE READ
Fake reading is just stupid. I'll admit that I fake read every one in a while, everyone does! I think that people who fake read all the time are missing the point. Teachers don't make you read as a punishment it should be a privilege. If you don't like the book your reading then why did you even bother to get it. Fake readers your wasting your time. Get a good book and really read or your missing the point.
I fake read some times,like when I do not get my book or when it has no action.One time I don't fake read is when I read sports books,because I get them so well.Sometimes I read books more than one time because I get how the characters feel.
The only time I fake read is when I have to read a text book. Like when read for science because the text books are boring. I bet every one fake reads when they have to read a text book I know I do. The only other time I fake read was was when I did not want to read.
I fake read sometimes because I don't like to read. I don't like to read. If I liked to read I probably wouldn't fake read but I don't like it because reading is boring to me.
Everybody fake reads sometime in their life. Even our Language Arts teacher fake reads sometimes. Don't try to hide it we all know you do.
I fake read when I don't really get the book. Or a book that I am forced to read.
The only time I fake read, is when I do not get the book at all, and I am just to lazy to get up and get a new one. That kind of thing will not happen to me right now. The book i am reading now is called, Touching Spirit Bear, and it is probably the best book I have ever read. I can honestly say I did fake read a lot in fifth grade.
I fake read a lot in different classes because if you get done with your work early the teachers will tell you to read a book. That's the time I want to relax, I can't relax any other time besides recess and lunch! If it's independent reading in language arts then I will actually read. But like I said I need relaxing time. When I'm in the mood to read I will. On summer vacation I don't read I have tons of better stuff to do!
I only fake read if I am reading an article my dad gave me on a boring topic like survival in the desert with few materials. Here is some advice don`t fake read
I have fake read before. Sometimes in independent reading I think of stuff other than the book. I even do it at home sometimes to tell you the truth. You can not get that far in fake reading. I know I can't get that far in fake reading.
I admit to fake reading. Sometimes I do not know that I'm fake reading. I do not realize it until I read a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes I fake read if it is a boring book, and other times I fake read just to get over with independent reading. I have not fake read since school has started because I have found really good books, and found my inner voice, and I found a picture or video in my head.
Everybody has fake read at least once in their life. I admit I do fake read sometimes, but I only fake read if I don't feel like it, if I'm tired or if it's a really boring book. I have only fake read a few times in my life. I don't like fake reading because it makes me really bored which makes me really tired, and when I feel tired it's hard for me to pay attention.
Why do people fake read? I mostly don't fake read because it really isn't my type of reading. Yeah, sometimes I do fake but it didn't get me anywhere in a book. I think reading always should be fun. That fake reading stuff, is not a good thing to do.
Sometimes if you fake read. You could miss something very interesting in the book your reading. It might sometimes happen in a boring book.
Sometimes I fake read too. Sometimes I day dream and think of home of sitting in the air conditioner. Sometimes if I find a interesting book then I can't put the book down and I can't fake read then. Most the time it depends on how bored I am to fake read,like if I'm really really bored and hot I day dream longer.But if I'm cool in a cool room with fans I don't day dream or fake read.
I know when I fake read. When you fake read your like, when will it stop. You feel like you just want to get up and walk away and say I don't want to read this I'd rather be home watching T.V. Everyone fake reads at least one time in their live. Most people fake read either because they don't like the book or they just don't want to read.
I used to fake read a little bit in social studies. Only on the days I didn't feel like following a long, or I didn't get much sleep and I'm really tired. But those days are absolutely over. Now I can't fake read, Because all the books I've read so far are really interesting. Specially the book I'm reading now. The title is Kiss Of Death The Morganville Vampires. It is a really great book even in the first three chapters you probably couldn't put it down. Like I said it would be like impossible for me to fake read unless it is on one of my 'tired of school, wish it would let out' days. Those are the only days I would disagree to read.
I fake read when we are reading in a text book. I skip ahead and read the whole page while the teacher is still on the 3rd sentence. I also sometimes fake read when I'm told to stop, just to finish a chapter. It does not help though because I go back and read it again. Also I fake read to find where I stooped.
I don't fake read a lot, really I hardly ever fake read, unless it is a bad book. When I'm reading a good book though I may never fake read, unless I'm trying to find my place.
Last year in fifth grade I fake read a ton but this this year I haven't fake read much. The reason being I am reading the On The Run series and I think they are really interesting. But I will admit every now and then in sixth grade I will fake read. I usually fake read when it is to hot or I am really tired. I don't like to fake read it's not going to help me but everybody does it eventually.
I like reading but after reading for a long time of reading I start thinking of other things.I don't fake read a lot but everyone has done it. When I fake I know I am doing it because I don't not read anything I just skip over words so I sorta kinda know what is going on.I read the most interesting parts of books I read like I'm in the story.When the book says stuff with no detail it makes the book boring.I hate boring books.
Reading is almost always my favorite thing to do my favorite thing to do,except for when I fake read then it makes me feel uninterested with the book.I can tell when others are fake reading to. I can tell others are fake reading when their eyes are moving but they keep on looking up.
I like reading but when I do not have the right book that I do not want to read or I read for a long time I do not want at all. That is the whole truth. And when I do not want to read sometimes and people make me I just fake read until I want to read. But when I am fake reading I get really bored and so I just read when I am fake reading.
When people fake read it isn't good because when people fake read you can miss a really good part in your book.It is also not good because if you are reading for a grade in school it can effect your grade. for now on I am going to stop fake reading so much and read more often.
I don't fake read a lot.I only do when I have read the book before and I know the next part is boring. If I get to a part of the book where the character(s) is just sitting in their room doing nothing, I might skip a page or two. I don't fake that much but when I do, I only skip a paragraph or on occasion a page or two.
I fake read a lot when I don't understand the book because I just can't get in to it and I just like zone out. When I'm at home I don't fake read that much, because I get relaxed then I turn on the radio and I start to read. I just keep reading until I want to quit reading. But some times in the summer when I don't have any thing to do. So I sit down and read until I get interrupted or I find something else to do.
I try to read in social studies and I just don't get it sometimes. That is way I fake read. Then I day dream.
I catch my self fake reading in math.
I do this because it don't make sense. I try to pay attention but I just drift off.
Wow.
