Required Individual Reading = Book-of-the-Month Club
Each month, select a book to read. Some months you will be required to select a book in a particular genre. Some months you may pick almost any genre. For example, for September, pick any novel (fiction) that meets these requirements:
- You haven't read it before.
- The book is at or near your own reading level. Usually this will be beginning-seventh-grade level or above.
- Your book should not be less than 100 pages long unless you have special permission.
- You can keep the book and bring it to school up to and including the day you are to complete your assessment ("test") on it. You will need to have finished reading your September book, taking notes on it, and preparing the five paragraphs by September 21. If you finish reading the book early, you need another book you can read during in-class individual reading time.
- Your book is approved by both your parents or guardian, and by your teacher.
