You should have read at least 1 book or 100 pages of a book by 10/2  during the month of September. Every month, you need to be reading 1 book or at least 100 pages of  a book. This is the case for the rest of the school year. The book can be fiction or non-fiction and it needs to be school appropriate. You should read something that is very interesting to you. It can be connected to a skill you want to develop or a concept you want to learn more about. 

 

Students read their independent reading book 5 minutes a day in class at the start of class. They are then responsible for reading the remaining pages of the book at home. 

 

If your book is 100 pages long and you have 4 weeks to read the book, then you should be reading at least 25 pages a week. 

 

If you finish the book early, let's say two weeks before the end of the month, then you need to get a new book to read because you are reading in class each day. 

 

This assignment is intended to be at your reading pace so if you can read five books a month, go for it.
