Weekly Reading Log Homework:
ELA homework is due every Friday. An extra copy of the homework can be found here: Homework Reading Log

Students should be reading every night and have their reading log signed by a parent/guardian each night. Daily reading helps students build reading stamina and prepares them for the FAST Reading assessment at the end of the year. Students will complete one paragraph using the RACE writing method at the bottom of their homework every week. RACE helps students write complete, text-based answers required by Florida standards. Here is a video link to help learn more about the RACE method:  RACE Method Video
