Be prepared. Everyday in class, you must have:
your independent reading book
your reader's notebook
a pen, pencil, colored pen/pencils and highlighter
your charged Chromebook, wired headphones, and a charger
your awesome self, ready to engage!
Change your life. Read more.
Find books you love. Linger with a favorite author, series or genre. Get recommendations from a friend, reading website or teacher.
Keep track of your next reads in your notebook and, if you like, on your favorite reading website.
Abandon books you don't love.
Find in-between moments to read: in the car, at the dentist's office, while cupcakes bake, before the game begins.
Commit to reading at least 3 hours outside of class each week. *
Challenge yourself to read more than you ever have in one school year.
Super challenge yourself to read 25 books or more by the end of the school year.
Keep track of your reading on your "What I am Reading" list in your notebook.*
