Requirements for What Books Students Can Read for Homework:
It's a book you ENJOY reading
Age-appropriate (or with parent's approval if it's "mature")
Near to student's reading abilities, i.e., no reading Dr. Seuss books - you're in high school now!
Preferably, it's a new-to-you book that you haven't read before
That's it!
Love comics and graphic novels? Go for it! One small exception is an individual 32-page comic book does NOT count as your "book for the month", BUT a "trade paperback" does!
Prefer to listen to an audiobook? Go for it! Even better if you can read the book while listening to the audiobook as well!
*Audiobook TIP*If you don't have the written copy, make sure you're doing something simple, like coloring a coloring page or doing chores, while listening; doing so will ensure you're not distracted and can focus on what the audiobook is saying (but also keeping busy enough physically to not get bored!)
Read Graphic Novels Online - a website that has posted many graphic novels to read for free!
Clicklibrary - free books to read online (NOTE: These are books for ALL ages, not just 18 & under!)
Reading Sanctuary - free e-books/PDFs of popular books
("free"= free to download, but users are prompted to provide reviews on Amazon or GoodReads to help promote the author/increase sales as the "payment")
Read Any Book free ebooks to read online (Watch out for Pop-Up Ads!)
NOTE: Webtoons SERIES are acceptable; this means it's a continuous story that has multiple chapters. "One-shot" comics are NOT.
