Read and write every day! Record the title of the book/text and the pages read each day in your learning log.

• Hopefully you’ve been reading a lot during this time. Books, poetry, articles...it’s all good reading! Perhaps you are finishing up a book this week or you’re starting a new one - the most important thing to remember is that a good book is like a good “buddy.”

Spend time each day this week filling in a reading log (in addition to your learning log). This reading log will contain information for every book you have read this school year, this includes your at-home learning time.

• • The reading log should have five columns

1. Title and author

3. Theme

4. Explain how you personally connected to a character or situation in the book/text
