Regular students are required to read one book a month.
GATE/Advanced students are required to read two books per month.
Students are required to complete a book report on each book they read. These reports can be found on Google Classroom. There is one for fiction and one for non-fiction books.
Students can read any book that interests them as long as it is challenging enough. This means that students should be checking their books to make sure it is within their lexile range. Your child's Lexile can be found on their MAP goal setting sheet.
A completed, well written book report will be worth 25 points.
