Once the book has been chosen, read it! We recommend getting right into the book to build off the excitement of the project beginning.
We hope that completing this book will also help students move to other books in the series, or more chapter books in general, to meet their 9 week AR goal.

Make sure the cereal box is complete and to school by the due date!
Don't forget to have your child practice their commercial that will "sell" their cereal/book. We would love to get other students excited for more book reading!
