Independent Reading
Students are required to have an independent reading book with them at all times. This book will be used to help support individual reading goals as well as to complete literature based assignments.
Each student will be responsible for completing an end of trimester assignment for their book. It is recommended that they spend 20-30 minutes reading self-selected materials each night. Please see attachment below for project specifics.
Here are some helpful sites to help students select books:
