Reading Log

All students should now be engaged in the year long use of the Reading Log.  Depending on their reading abilities, students have a choice between the following options:

• Read 30 minutes per night five nights a week
• Read 75 pages a week

  Students should get a parent signature at the end of each week.

  The Reading Log will be collected at the end of six weeks and will be worth 12 points if filled out correctly.
