Let's get to work.
Reading is an essential building block for learning across the curriculum. In order to get better at it, we must practice consistently. Students may choose their own texts, but they must read every night. For the most part, this will be your child's homework. The activities that will add up to 100 points are listed in the document below. Let's get ready to be successful!
"There's no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books." - James Patterson, author
