Reading- Students are expected to read every night. You will need to read in order to complete a weekly reading box. Students will be required to complete one box this nine weeks in their reading notebook. Notebooks are due every Friday, but my be turned in early. Students are required to attain their reading goal each nine weeks. Reading goals are set based on your child's individual reading level. Accelerated Reading points are not the only way your child can reach their reading goal. Reading goals requirements will be based on your child's reading level. If you have questions about your child's reading goal requirement, please contact Amber Miller.
Reading test are held on Fridays. Students are given a study guide on Tuesdays and we go over them on Thursdays. Students who complete the study guide are allowed to use them on the test. Students who do not, are not penalized, but do not get to be in the room when we go over it.
