Independent Reading Tips!!!!

Post date: Mar 3, 2015 6:36:23 PM

Grades have been posted for the 4th grading period. This is a reminder that all Read 180 students are expected to finish their novels in a reasonable amount of days. Each student is also required to turn in a Completed Reading Log and QuickWrites before taking the test over their novel. Some students are not following these instructions and it is resulting in lower SRC (Scholastic Reading Counts Quiz) and Reading Log grades.

Here are some tips to help you do your best in the Independent Reading Station

1. Read carefully and check for comprehension

2. Complete a detailed reading log

3. Fill out the graphic organizer and quickwrite as you come across the information in the book- DO NOT WAIT until you finish the book.

4. Keep a vocabulary log for any new words that you run across

5. Review the book and all you work before turning it in and taking the test.

Remember that SRC grades are not dropped or erased if you fail it and have to re-take. That grade stays in and averages with your new grade. No more than 2 attempts per novel will be allowed.
